Always pivoting! We went over on Sunday to hang out with friends from church (they have a son Hannah’s age, so they get along pretty well). They were ordering pizza, and my husband had to ask me what pizza she eats now because we haven’t had pizza at home this month, but she ate it at my parents’ house. She now only eats cheese pizza whereas before her preference was sausage pizza and before that she pretty much ate crust and was iffy on the rest of the pizza. It’s exhausting keeping up with all the changes!
My 4.5 yo had the egg allergy too- he was able to eat them baked in around 13 mo and then could eat whole eggs around 3 yo. He still doesn’t like cooked eggs much and I have wondered if it’s because he couldn’t have them for so long! My almost 7 yo likes them again now but he didn’t eat them in that 2 year period very much either. I still have to remind myself he doesn’t have the same reaction to eggs now bc it was such a default.

Yes, so many changes. Kids are teaching us constantly about flexibility.

It can feel so strange after avoiding it for so long. We are so happy to be able to add it in it takes some extra attention.
Great article, Kathryn!
