allergies

So the dermatologist says Bulilit is allergic to milk (all dairy), egg whites, mangos, strawberries, apples, grapes and plums. Well then. How do I explain to a 2 year old that she can't eat her favorite foods anymore? That Mac & Cheese, yogurt, grapes, apples, strawberries and ice cream will make her itchy?

A couple links I found to help me navigate this crazy new food allergy world.

i don't get it

entertainment

bulilit definitely provides entertainment to her sister. even when belly is tattling on her, bulilit will do something that will make belly giggle.

today, belly told me bulilit was being nasty to their nanny, so when i told bulilit to go back down and apologize, she slid/bounced down the stairs on her stomach. she literally looked like a puck from the plinko game on price is right. bounce-bounce-bounce. cue belly's infectious giggle.

cousin time

i love watching the babies play.

today, my cousin came over to help us move some furniture in preparation for our move, and he brought bear along. bear and belly have always played really well together ever since they were babies (maybe due to the fact that bear's mommy would bring him over twice a week and watch belly for me while I worked). bulilit, meanwhile, loves bear and follows him around everywhere.

so the three of them are playing, running from the large family room in the basement into the bedroom and back out. bear and belly decide to get on the electric cars -- which nini and veh gave the girls for christmas -- and are driving them between the family room and bedroom. bulilit, not wanting to be left out, climbs into the cozy coupe and is trying to chase after them.





then, perhaps in a vengeful moment, bulilit one-ups her cousin and sister. bear and belly each have a 6" play ball, running after each other. bulilit, feeling left out, looks for one and disappears in the room. out come bear and belly yelling, followed by bulilit with a huge exercise ball!
