Okay okay. I know you've already heard from me today. Whatever. It's my blog and I can talk all I want. We had some awesome happenings today. First off... Costco called today and told me that Ryan's new glasses had ARRIVED! I was excited. Ryan was not. He acted kind of downcast about it actually. He turned to his older brother and asked him if he was going to make fun of him now that he had to wear glasses. Without skipping a beat- Ty turned to Ryan and told him, "Of course not! I would never make fun of your glasses!" It was sweet. And hopefully truthful. Ryan would be crushed if Ty made fun of his glasses... so hopefully Ty stays sweet. Cross your fingers.
I think he looks cute... what do you think??
And... today was another big day for my other little boy. Ty had hot lunch for the first time today! We have had to jump through some serious hoops to get this to happen for my boy. The state of Utah requires schools to offer a gluten free lunch option- apparently there is a law. But in order to get that gluten free lunch- there was some serious work to be done over the summer by yours truly. I have been on the phone with the District and the school and Ty's dr so often that they are actually in my phone's speed dial now. But persistence pays off! Ty's food was finally ready for him today. I was so nervous... Sheepishly I even texted his teacher to tell him what to expect of the food didn't settle- though I didn't tell Ty. This probably sounds stupid to some of you- why on earth would I even try to use the school's hot lunch when I can make him a perfectly gluten free lunch at home that is free from any threat of cross- contaminants. My answer is simple...Because Ty wanted hot lunch. And I figured we could give it a try and if he gets sick- then we go back to homemade lunches. He walked in the door today and I totally gave him the third degree... I wanted to know exactly what it was (even though I had already talked to the secretary at the school AND the head lunch lady) and if he watched them make it for him. I wanted to know how he felt after... headaches? Tummy-aches? I was a wreck and Ty thought I was nuts. All in all- it was a good day. I'm still a little nervous about sending him to eat at school, but I guess we'll just have to see how it goes.

You go mama! Having a hot lunch like the other kids is a big deal to our little ones. All your hard work paid off! This summer I let my daugher's camp counselor (who was also one if her teachers from school) make GF food for everyone and at first I was so nervous, but being able to eat what the other kids ate meant so much to her. I was totally spoiled though, because soon I'll be making her lunch plus 2 snacks 5 days a week!
Love the glasses too :) totally adorable. I'm a sucker for little kids in glasses, maybe because I was one too!

What a happy mama you must be! What did they serve him??
Ryan is adorable in his glasses - they aren't big bottlecap type that I had at his age. So cute!
