It’s hard to believe I’m just a few days away from my last baby my 3rd child turning 5. Don’t start with the Happy Birthdays yet! Out of all of my kids he is the one I’m most scared of going to school next fall 20/21 school year. He has a lot of food allergies so I worry about about cross over from just typical kid things not washing there hands. All of his food allergies have been only consumption which means eating it. He doesn’t have a touch allergy to it. This is also why crossing fingers he is having his next food allergies test to make sure he doesn’t have any more food allergies or if they have gotten worse. He already has several epipen sans he wears a medical bracelet which makes people know he has food allergies to things and to call 911 if they ever use the epipen and we will give one the the school for the year. For him this is his normal.

My son will turn 11 this Friday. He has mild autism and has asthma both bronchial and skin. He is the mainstreaming class. When he was younger, he does not want any birthday celebration but 4 or 5 years ago, he always want to celebrate it with a request cake.

Aww, what a precious picture! Time flies so fast, before you know it the kids are already grown up. But I am getting ahead of myself, he is still your baby. Is he excited to start school? My youngest sister have the worse food allergies among us, and it was also my mother's biggest concern. I hope he gets to have a good time in school. And thanks for sharing his adorable picture!

He’s been excited for school for almost 2 years. He doesn’t fluke being left out. He had to wait till the Fall of course because of his birthdate.

They grow up so quickly. One of my granddaughters also had the EpiPen. So far she has been lucky, no one has had to use it for her. She is now in third grade and her luck is holding out.

@ShyBear88 It is a very good thing to not have to use them.

I'm allergic to peaches and I know how it feels. My mom said that I was like being choked and hard to breathe when she past me a bite of peach, besides she didn't know I was allergic to it at that time. She was shocked and she took me to the clinic at once.

@Behindtheguitarbar not really! Very though there is many foods lots of things are still made with wheat germs. He also has a nut allergy, can’t have sesame

@ShyBear88 thanks for diversity of food. We could have many other choices.
