Allergies

Charlotte has food allergies. Today we had her retested to see if her body has changed it's mind about  hating certain foods. Sadly, it has not. Here is a picture of her being brave before the test. 
I was trying to get her to look at the camera. 
She did and then... threw her doll at me. -_-!
So she was definitely in good spirits. She didn't even cry during the test.
But she did not enjoy me holding her hands, because she wanted to scratch her back.
:( Starting from the top and moving right and down we have positive, itchy reactions to dairy, egg white, whole egg, and peanuts. 

We are currently very blessed to live near a Southern Adventist College which has its own little community market. We love to eat Clark's Bakery whole wheat vegan bread and vegan oat bread. They also have a nice selection of yogurts made from coconut milk and puddings from wheat ( don't ask me how that works). Charlotte drinks almond milk and loves dairy free treats such as Oreos ( you read that right Oreos are dairy free -crazy as that sounds-  ). So we will continue to carry an epi pen jr. and avoid these foods until next year when we can retest.
