Father of a boy with peanut tree nut and egg allergies. Nice to see others with ideas. Thanks for that. Daniel tigers allergy is peaches and rubble from law patrol is allergic to peanuts like our boy. Also helps to find shows with characters with similar allergies. For us at least. 3.5 year old says. I'm allergic to peanuts like ruble. It's awesome.

We actually just watched that Daniel Tiger episode with him! Our little guy has a whole bunch of allergies at the moment (hoping he grows out of at least a couple!). But we’re so lucky that he’s an incredibly good eater and up for anything when it comes to food. It makes it a lot easier find foods for him knowing he’s easy to make happy!

Our boy picked up a Hershey almonds bar at the grocery store a few weeks back. Said. Hey buddy you gotta put that back. He pointed at the almond and say. I allergic? And put it back. It made me so happy, proud and relieved that he's on a start to the right path.

Yay! It feels good when they understand and don’t seem like they’re feeling are hurt by it. :) He turned three a couple weeks ago and he has the language now to talk about it more.
There’s one niche store that sells special bread he can have and we make a whole trip out of going and shopping for special foods he can have (usually sauces and stuff to dress up chicken/veggies/ rice). He loves it! And he tells everyone in the store he’s there for ‘billy bread!’

As an adult dx celiac this makes me so happy!
(And is also why I never take the last of a gf item on the shelf. )
