HAPPINESS IS....

Coby declared his last up-dose as, "THE BEST UP-DOSE EVER!" At 4 peanuts, he was finally cleared to eat some cross contaminated items! Last week he tried crumb topped Entenmann's donuts (YUMMERS!) and Kit-Kat (YUCK!). Over the weekend, we brought him to a supermarket and what's that saying about a kid's eyes in a candy store...




















He was literally pulling boxes down off the shelf and piling them up. At one point it was stacked about seven high and reaching over his head. We compromised him down to three boxes. And in the course of the last few days he was able to try chocolate donuts and little bites too!

bliss!

Excitement!

                                     eating those long awaited for mini- bites---- finally...






I was also so excited for Coby's end of school year carnival. I even e mailed the school nurse and a head of the school to let them know that after nearly 4 years of us telling them, "no ice-cream... no Entenmann's"- he now IS allowed to have things now that are 'made in a facility with...' so yes to (most) Entenmann's and yes to some items in the ice-cream truck they bring in for school fun-days. All these years he kept having to get those boring (imho) sno-cones at those school events.

So yesterday, after the carnvial, when Coby got home from school I asked him if the school brought in the ice- cream truck again.
"Yep."

"Yay. What did you get?"
"I decided I had too much ice-cream lately so I went for the sno-cone."

You've got to be kidding me!

Mmmmmm, so good!

I mean, Coby did enjoy a Friendly's vanilla ice cream cone on Shabbos (wish I could have taken a video, so cute! I literally sat there for 20 minutes just watching him devour it) and on Sunday he had a mini Hagen Dazs. 

                          

So he had had ice-cream TWO times over the weekend but how could you have had 'too much ice-cream?' especially considering the carnival was a few days after his latest ice-cream. Part of me wonders if part of him was a bit too nervous to try something out of the ice cream truck without us there....

Oh well. At least he enjoyed that sno-cone...

All in all a very good week indeed! Lots of tasty treats with no reactions at all! Who could ask for anything more? 

And tomorrow we will be going to FIVE WHOLE PEANUTS!!!! YOWZERS! We are getting there.... slowly but surely, b'ah we are actually doing it!!!!!!
