Peanut, Peanut Butter

Any parent, or really anyone that keeps up with student allergy news is aware that peanut allergies are amongst the top worry in today's schools..as a result, no PB and J for elementary schools anymore...needless to say, the prospect of our son having a peanut allergy has scared me to death since finding out we were having a baby. Robert however, has been itching to give our son some peanut butter since the doctor gave us the go-ahead a month ago....Aside for an easy display of how our parenting will differ over the years, Robert, like the good lawyer that he is, made a good argument in favor of letting the little guy try some. SO, this morning, we took the plunge. The result, like most other things that he gets his hands on, he loved it...well, he loved peanut butter in a strawberry smoothie. The rest of the morning saw me staring at him waiting for him to stop breathing or keel over...

another successful morning here on kensington avenue.

shew!!! It scares me to think about giving Adelyn peanut butter too, but it is encouraging to know that Rob handled it!
