We let our three boys go to Iowa with Papa and Oma this week. As hard as it was, we finally felt like the boys were big enough to go with them. As you know or are finding out, going somewhere is not as easy as jumping in the car and going.
So, what we did was send food with them. I always have homemade prepackaged chocolate cake/muffin mix and gluten free, egg free, dairy free pancake mix on hand, so those went along. I also added muddy buddies, rice crackers, sunbutter and jelly.
We remembered to send the medicines and epi-pens in case of an "incident".
The other thing Kevin did for each of the boys was create an id form for them that we had laminated. The id forms had front and side pics of the boys, their name, their age and weight, our family contact info. Then, on the back of Kaden's, we added the foods he is allergic to and what to do if he begins hiving or if he has trouble breathing.
Thankfully, my Mom is good at understanding Kaden's allergies and how to feed him, but it's always hard to let them go...
