It’s funny how things work out sometimes. I thought MPI and an IgE Egg allergy were horrible. Then I learned how to cook, what to avoid, and I mastered the challenge. Then we got FPIES. I thought I was going to lose my mind over that (and I may feel … Continue reading
Yesterday was an icky day. Mr. Happy was cutting his first tooth, so of course he wanted to be held CONSTANTLY. Mr. Charm was whiny in the morning. I gave up on getting anything done besides staying alive. After their naps, both boys were in better spirits, though Mr. Happy … Continue reading
(I’m going to apologize in advance…this post is rather long and disjointed, but for all my editing efforts I can’t seem to improve it. I’m still exhausted from Monday and seriously irritated and confused, and this is the best I can do. Thanks for sticking with me!) Riddle me this: … Continue reading
It’s such a normal sight: the family gathered around the table sharing a big ‘ol pizza. Pizza is a fabulous finger food for a toddler, just like grilled cheese sandwiches, cheese sticks, chicken fingers and string cheese. I’ve never once seen my son eat any of those.

Last week I posted about my new suspicion that Mr. Charm may have fructose malabsorption, and my determination to have him tested for the condition. The day before that post ran, I called our pediatrician to ask what needed to be done to order the test. I spoke with a … Continue reading
…but not the way you think. I’m sorry; I don’t typically post twice in one day but this is something I have to get off my chest. We live WAY out in the country. Technically, our house isn’t even a part of the nearest town, a hamlet of only 76 … Continue reading
Keeping a toddler on an elimination diet was easier than I thought it would be, but still, it has been hard. He’s a quick little sneak, and the few foods that I kept in our pantry that I hoped would soon be added back in but were not, yet, were … Continue reading
We started off today with a bit of excitement and trepidation…today, we were going to get Mr. Charm his First Haircut. Shocking, I know. I still don’t really want to cut his hair, but even I can see that it hangs in his eyes and bothers him. I’m just sad … Continue reading
In an amusing story, last Friday Mr. Charm swallowed some coins. How many? Who knows! He’d discovered the Geek’s special coin hiding place and had been hoarding coins in hard to reach places. So other than knowing that one of the coins was silver, I have no idea how many … Continue reading
The Geek read my posts from yesterday, and so this morning, he let me sleep in. Until 1:00 P.M., y’all! Sometimes that man knows me better than I know myself, because my mood is decidedly more upbeat today than it was yesterday. Exhaustion can drain you of everything, even good … Continue reading
