I made the cake.......and ate some frosting

I made a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting today. I poured whatever leftover sprinkles we had on, cut it up, and froze the pieces. My little one is allowed to have dessert once a week at school. Usually she has the prepackaged ice cream. She finally caught on that there is cake there also but, it's not safe. So, I solved the problem by giving myself something else to do. It's ok though, it will make her safe and included. Now, I know what's going to happen. She's going to take her cake to school tomorrow. Her sister that is nonallergic is going to want to take cake to school too. Do I tell her no? It's really for her sister, but how do I tell her that she can't have cake? That doesn't seem too fair.
I think I will be making lots of cake..........

It's not worth the risk

We took our little one out to eat the other night after dropping her sister off at sleep away camp. We have been to this restaurant a zillion times before. We ate our dinner (after double checking the safety of her meal of course). Then we looked at the allergen menu again and noticed that there were some desserts that were listed as safe for a tree nut allergy. Huh? This is new. We questioned the waitress and she explained that sometimes their food providers change, this would explain the change in safety. She went over "made in a facility" etc, I was impressed with her knowledge. She even checked with the manager. I was wary and did not want my little one to get anything. We explained to the little one that the items were safe but we left the decision up to her. Ugh.....She's only 7. Anyway, she said "I don't want to. I don't want to take the risk."
Yahoo! I was so proud that she realized that it wasn't worth it. We had dessert at home instead.
Of course, now I question myself. Should I have left the decision up to her? What if she ordered dessert and something happened (not likely, I know)? What if she ordered dessert and nothing happened? Would she then think it was ok to order dessert anywhere?
Will I ever turn off my brain? Stay tuned......
My older one comes home from camp tomorrow! Finally!
