Just a little bit heart breaking

[jethrien]

Today was ARR's 2nd birthday. One of his presents was a set of plastic food--he has a bunch already, but he was missing a couple key favorites (including a cookie for Cookie Monster, a banana for Monkey, and a bagel and some Cheerios and noodles for ARR).

Upon finding a muffin, he immediately handed it to me. I offered him a "bite", but he replied, "No, Mommy eat. No eat, cow milk."

I had to assure him I'd made him a new one, one without any cow milk in it, before he would pretend to eat it.

My niece and nephew's cousins are allergic to wheat, and at 2 and 5, they are very good about asking where their special foods are. Heartbreaking that he has to know, but maybe a little comforting that he does know?
