Last Tuesday I signed Alex up for kindergarten. To most this is just an emotional issue to deal with. For the most part it is for me too, but the other thing I have to deal with is his food allergy. A peanut allergy is quite complicated and many do not understand it. The school I am going to send him to has an action plan for kids with food allergies but I do not like that they don’t allow the teachers to keep the epi-pens in the classroom. Again, I will touch more on this later. While we have been on our peanut-free journey since he was 18-months-old, going to school 5 days a week with children much older than him is going to take a lot of getting used to. But just like everything else, I’m sure I’ll manage. It’s just going to take a while.

I recently opened a Red Bubble store. Doing so allows me to supplement our income while being able to stay home with our children. It also gives me a creative outlet with my photos. Please take a look and if you have any comments I'd be happy to hear them!

You’ll do fine. Alex will, too. My kids have always been in daycare, so we were accustomed to other people being in charge of their allergies at times, but kindergarten freaked me out. What I’ve found through the years (and with a move to a new state, four new schools), the biggest and most important thing is to know yourself what needs to be done and to do a good job of conveying that to the teachers. Good luck.
