Muffins with Mom

This morning was the mother's day brunch at Maison's school.  It was the first school mother's day brunch I've attended as a mom.  As soon as we walked in Maison's classroom she ran to get the gift she had made me.  She was so excited that Mommy got to stay for a little while that she barely noticed that she was allowed to have a cinnamon roll.  

We've been taking Maison to a new specialist who does not believe Maison has a sugar intolerance.  He confirmed she has a dairy allergy.  So we gain back fruit and natural sugar (processed sugar on special occasions) but we lost dairy.  Losing milk has proven to be easy.  Losing cheese and yogurt...not so much.  She literally cries for 'sprinkle cheese'.  We pretty much avoid all situations where cheese could be involved when Maison is with us to avoid the melt-down.  So far, so good...besides she's just thrilled to be able to eat strawberries.

As you can tell there isn't much to report from the mother's day brunch.  When Maison and I arrived we were only the 2nd family to arrive so really nothing interesting happened.  I usually have a pretty flexible schedule at work but unfortunately had an 8:30 meeting that I couldn't get out of and thus couldn't stay very long at the party but long enough to see Mais eat her first cinnamon roll and to do some of her "work" (what they call the Montessori materials)...
