Day 6 GF

Things are going a little better. Shopping is no treat without my binder, lesson learned. Boo had a bad day yesterday at school, so it's hard to say if we had a temporary good streak or not. She's such a tough cookie. She read through the binder and is seeming more optimistic. We can keep a number of our favourites around and that's super, seems to help keep her attitude positive. I had a friend make a wonderful suggestion, that we sit, cut fliers and make a collage of the things she can have, try to focus on what's available rather than what's not. She says her belly still hurts once in a while, but that was when I asked.. we haven't had a night time complaint for a few days now. She is starting to read labels which is great as well, this morning I was limited on GF breakfast options she had Cocoa balls which didn't do it for her heh, and I asked and she was ok with the other kids eating waffles even though she couldn't. I felt like I was teasting her, but she was amazing and didn't even get upset...when I apologized she just smiled and said that's ok. I'm so proud of her and how she is handling all of it and choosing to make healthy choices for herself. The kids have a christmas food drive so I was able to send a bunch of glutened items to help empty my cupboards sooner. YAY! haha

All in all, she has a better attitude, happier disposition and seems to be able to focus a bit better. Improvement is awesome
