It is official, Henry is allergic to eggs. Fortunately this is one that can pretty easily be avoided by label reading AND it is one that is typically outgrown as he ages. Important website: http://www.foodallergy.org/page/egg-allergy. I believe the scariest thing to me was them demonstrating the use of and issuing a prescription for an Epi pen. As the above website states most egg allergies are just on the skin but there is the potential for anaphylaxis. I have a DVD that they gave us to watch to see the signs and also how to administer the shot if necessary. He did test negative for milk and soy. They cannot test for the penicillin yet as he is too young however since he did seem to react to it when he was on it all doctors have agreed to flag his chart and not use it. As for nuts the doctor said it is best to try it in a small dose and see how he reacts - that sounds like big fun so we will probably try that soon :-). All-in-all we are doing great and the boys are having fun spreading out a little.
George is well aware of his upcoming birthday and has picked out a multitude of gifts he would like to receive :-). Every time he finds something he says he needs to call Auntie Anne to tell her about it. I will tell him that the gift may be something Granddad or Grandpa would like to get him and he insists on calling them right away. He is very eager to get on the phone to whomever is on the other end but it is mostly selfish as he will inform you only of his gift choices.
George and Henry decided to clean out the drawer but only to use it as a seat.
George made breakfast for he and Henry - he even picked out a movie to watch.
