She said

:: Daddy, Tie me up!
It may sound like a strange thing for a little girl to request of her Dad, but he's been learning how to tie knots lately, and together they have come up with a practical use for some of those knots. It makes me cringe a little bit to watch her body go flying between the kitchen cabinets and stove, but she giggles the whole time and yells "Woo hoo!"

:: Mom, I want some ketchup.
We went to the allergy specialist today, and we got some great news. She is NOT allergic to tomatoes as I was previously told by her doctor. Her skin is sensitive to certain foods, a condition called perioral food reaction, and hopefully, within a few years, she will outgrow this.

Before her nap this afternoon she told me she was hungry and followed it up with, "I want some ketchup." I protested, for obvious reasons. She replied with, "But the doctor said I could."

I'm thinking maybe we should have a tomato extravaganza for dinner tonight.

Abigail has the same skin reaction to tomatoes and limes - pretty much any acidic foods. Glad she can have ketchup agai! ; )

Yay! I was secretly crestfallen when I read about the tomato moratorium. I adore tomatoes. It is ridiculous, actually, how happy I am for you to hear this!!!
