Celebration

In case you didn't know, our little Cia has food allergies, milk & peanuts. When she was seven months old she was diagnosed with a life threatening allergy to milk (the peanut was added later). Since then she has been in a food allergy study at Johns Hopkins. At her last visit they said her blood test had gone low enough that they wanted to do a food challenge with her. A food challenge is when over the course of an hour you work you way up to eating a full serving of the allergic item (you start really small- a teaspoon).

So today I took her to Hopkins and did the challenge and HOORAY!!! She passed!!! Unless you have a food allergic kid you have no idea how awesome this is. Can anyone say, pizza for dinner, grilled cheese for lunch!

Anyway, just wanted to share my happy news.

On another Cia note, she is seems to be spatially challenged. She thinks she can sit in dollhouse chairs and has recently taken to to trying baby doll cloths on. She really thinks they are going to fit. I'm hoping she'll grow out of this but if she doesn't real estate should be pretty cheap for her, and though they lack privacy doll houses are very cute.
