Yes, it’s party season here again – all the 3rd birthdays are coming round.

This year, it’s much much easier for us though as Taran has outgrown several of his allergies leaving us only egg and sesame to deal with. 

So, the biggie at parties is obviously cake! The birthday cake is usually cut up and put into party bags so either me or the hubby get to secret that away and eat it later on at home!! And thankfully, Taran doesn’t seem fussed about missing out on any other fairy cakes served up.

At yesterday’s party, the problem was ice-cream! Since he’s been able to eat dairy, Taran has discovered ice-cream and loves it!! But unfortunately some ice-cream contains egg so we always have to check out the ingredients beforehand. As I saw the ice-cream being wheeled in on a trolley, I quickly asked one of the girls if it contained egg. She said she’d phone the kitchen to check for me -fantastic thanks. Oh no, another one of the servers had already put some in front of Taran so cue a mad dash to remove it before he started eating. And all credit to him, although there was a slight curling of the bottom lip “but mummy she gave it to me”…”yes I know but I just need to see if it contains egg”, there were no tears or tantrums.

Unfortunately, it did contain egg so he couldn’t have it. Out came my back up plan of M&S organic chocolate buttons – a def treat and firm favourite. “Oooh look what you’ve got instead, chocolate buttons”. All of a sudden all the other kids around him were like “can I have one, can I have one”!! And the ice-cream was forgotten!
