I Should Listen More

Quinn has been telling us for months that he is allergic to eggs. We told him that he definitely is not allergic to eggs - he eats them all the time for breakfast.

At his school physical, Quinn requested blood testing for the suspected allergen. I sort of rolled my eyes at the physician, but sighed an exasperated consent.

Guess what? The boy has a new high-end food allergy - eggs. We add that to the list of peanut, tree nuts, beans, peas, soy . . . and will be consulting with a new allergist in a couple weeks.

On the upside of the physical, he grew three-and-a-half inches and gained 20 pounds since last year.
