Re: Valentine's Party at School!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi Laurie, I went and had a classroom observation on Monday,(mainly so I

could remind them again about what LJ can have and bring them in what he

can have). They are so great with LJ on his diet and let me know in

advance of any parties so I can have substitutions for him. They even

had a surprise party for the teachers birthday and one of the aides sent

me home a note ahead of time so I could duplicate a piece of cake for LJ.

But then I warned the bus people all year and what do they do this

morning? Hand him 3 candies, I ate them and when LJ gets home I'll just

tell him I taraded them in for stickers and give him the stickers.

My boys school has been GREAT and understanding when it comes to the diet.

For today I just sent in a cake I made special for Valentine's Day (with pink

frosting and sprinkles). I wrote both teachers a note and told them to send

all the candy they get from teachers and other kids home in their bags and I

will go through them to see what they can eat or not.

I know they can have the Neeco Conversation Hearts (they got a lot of those)

but what about Wonka Nerds?

You will hate me, but we don't have this problem. His teacher is 100%

vested in his diet. He took his snacks and self advocates for his diet

anyway, so I am home with a clear conscience.

The school knew him pre diet, they know him now and they see the difference.

That helps us a lot.

His teacher and I have a good relationship. That also helps. She is making

his inclusion work and doesn't want to do anything to blow it. She once

even ran out of the school all paniced at the close of a day wondering

" Please, Please tell me jolly ranchers are okay on his diet!! "

I think it also helps because the school is allergy aware, there is a peanut

free table at lunch, they just take diet seriously.

Know this didn't help, If I were not 100% confident his diet would be

adhered to, I'd be in for every party and every food learning experience.

What a pain, but necessary.

good luck

I know this is a couple of days late but I volunteered in my son's class

during the party to help her out and I brought in gfcf cookies and Jolly

Rancher lollipops and I brought in 2 cupcakes just for him because I knew

another mother was sending them in for the whole class. It went great and my

son didn't care about the extra stuff the other kids had and was fine. If

you can do it I would suggest volunteering during those times.
