As the parent of a young gluten-free child, I often worry a little about how we will handle social situations that involve food. Since I wasn't diagnosed with celiac disease until I was 20, I never had to worry about being the "weird" kid who couldn't eat stuff at parties.
I'm finding though, like so many situations in life, that it's all not so big a deal.
We went to a cookie decorating party this afternoon, and we ha a wonderful time. We saw and met friends old and new and got to spend time with dear friends we miss and don't get to see very often. I brought a small tub of gluten-free cookies, put a little icing in a separate bowl for Sweet Pea, and plopped her down with the rest of the kids. It took a little extra supervision of course, but it was no big deal otherwise at all. So many kids have food allergies and intolerances these days that it's never much of a big deal or surprise.
And once again, cuteness abounded with abandon.
