Goodbye Egg Allergy! And a Sunday Visit with GG

Liam has been doing great since passing his baked egg challenge, so after a negative skin test for raw egg here a year later, his allergist gave him the green light to challenge scrambled egg.  He was apprehensive - mostly because he was sure he'd hate scrambled eggs - but excited for the possibility of  having outgrown his first major allergy.  Nana came to spend the afternoon with him at the allergist's office while he underwent the challenge, and hours later sent us the good news-- he passed!!  (And, he didn't hate the eggs!)

That Saturday morning, we decided to celebrate by taking Liam out to Michael's for his first restaurant breakfast since his diagnosis at 3 years old.  He could not wait to try a *real* waffle!

The verdict?  Thumbs up!

So excited for Liam and this big step forward in his allergy journey!

Joergen's name was drawn at preschool as next to make a poster all about himself to share with his class.  One of the questions was "Do you have pets?" and this was Joergen's answer:

Catty, Douglas, Spots, Hearts, Tiny, and Tricks

He loves his dog family!  Joergen also had a birthday party that afternoon for a classmate at Get Air.  He's starting to outgrow his afternoon naps, but every now and then, he will still take a little rest... and just couldn't resist the cushy comfort of the foam pit :)

Saturday night was a bit of a conflict-- both the Irish and the Cubs had big games.  How could we choose which to watch? Leave it to Dad to resolve that conflict!

On Sunday, we went to York to spend the day with GG.  Liam brought some of his favorite books to share.  He had so much fun reading to GG and laughing together at Elephant and Piggie's antics!

Back and Nana and Grandpa's house that evening, the boys enjoyed one of their favorite things in the world: one of Grandpa's "special drinks".

A pretty great weekend all around!
