To answer a question from Mel , no Devin will not be exposed to the Coffee Sand every time he goes to school. It is in the sensory table still, but Devin's teacher is not taking her class to that center. She said that even if for some reason she decided to bring them to it that Devin would join another class for that time frame. He will not use it/be exposed to it again.
Last night I decided to do some experimenting (because I want to know what caused that reaction). I gave Devin a bowl of flour to play with. He mixed it, touched it, smelled it and was fine....NOT THE FLOUR. Then I added some coffee grinds (not baked though) to it and had him repeat....NOT THE COFFEE EITHER.
Humph.
I'm thinking the cornmeal. I need to buy some and try it. Don't worry I will have his Nebulizer ready.

Doctor's visit
Last week Devin went for his 2 year old check up. The doctor was very impressed with his ability to speak in multi-word sentences and his growth. For the first time in 2 years we only need to buy one kind of milk as now Devin can have skim milk! Yay! That is very exciting (to me anyway!)
After his visit we were sent for blood work. Have you ever taken a toddler for a blood draw? Eeee Gawd it was awful! He sat on my lap while Daddy held his arms down. When the phlebotomist stuck the needle in his arm- Devin gave her the DIRTIEST look like "What the hell lady??" And then he proceeded to scream and cry. It was very dramatic and very sad. Until, that is, the prize bucket came out and she let him pick not just one, but two matchbox cars. That cheered him up a bit. Well that plus Mommy and Daddy brought him to Applebee's. Now tell me he isn't like his Daddy?
The result of the blood work came back today. No food allergies!!!! Wait, did I even mention he was getting allergy testing because of a reaction to shrimp that he has had? At any rate, the doctor said that all of his results were absolutely "normal" and that we shouldn't be concerned at all. Apparently, shrimp just doesn't agree with his stomach but he isn't allergic. Well, now we know. The best part? I can give him PEANUT BUTTER now!!!
