No longer a stranger to the Peanut Butter

Today, (for the first time in 3.5 years) Carter had Peanut Butter-- and this is him saying "YAY, I like Peanut Butter"


We had Carter tested at a fairly young age for allergies and the PB allergy kept showing up. His doctors told us we could try to give it to him after he was 3 but we just haven't. They told us to put it on his skin first and if there was no reaction he could try it. So we tested him on his skin this morning and no reaction-- and the only reaction we got when he tried his first bite was--"UMMM I like that". This is such an exciting thing for us- we have been so worried about him having this allergy considering how dangerous it can be --
We celebrated with Chocolate Fondue tonight-- which we've had several times lately--the only difference this time--we got to add Peanut butter to the mix....

You can tell from his mouth above that he definitely got his fair share of celebrating---

Oh and sis was excited too-- she named all the great things he can have now with her-- Here is her YAY for Carter....
