I have two daughters. My oldest has no allergies. None. It is remarkable to me that she has no allergies. Trust me, I am grateful, just surprised since her sister seems to be allergic to the world.
She is an amazing kid. Yes, of course I think that, I am her mom. She is generous, kind, and good. She cares about others before herself, including her sister (when they are not fighting). They have a big age gap between them (4 years). They were in elementary school together for a few years but now, because of the age difference, they will never be in the same school at the same time again. While they were in the same school my oldest said to me "If something ever happens to her, I want to be there. You have to get me from my classroom."
She does care!
I often wonder how all of the stress and so on affects her. She seems to take it in stride. We do our best to get her out here and there for a forbidden treat when her sister is not around. That's the important stuff for an 11 year old.
The kids go back to school on Monday after a week off for spring break. It has been a great week of doing nothing but being together. I dread getting up on Monday morning......
Thank you for your kind comment on my blog. I have the same scenario but my kids are 20 months apart. The oldest has developmental issues the younger has food allergies. They are each others biggest advocate. It makes me proud. Glad to have found your blog.
