Butt Naked, Keira walks into the kitchen pulling her toy bucket and says “Water in Bucket!”
Me “No. We’ll get a tubby in the tub.”
Keira “Water in the Bucket”
Me “Let’s go to the bathroom and get a tubby”
Keira “Water in the Bucket”
Me “Let’s go Keira get a tubby in the bathroom”
Keira stands and yells “Water in the Bucket”
Then PEES IN THE BUCKET!

I found a Gluten Free form letter to…

I found a Gluten Free form letter to the school online today – I found this part most interesting: “In addition to food, [Student Name] should also avoid contact with craft products that contain gluten. Of most concern to me are play dough, pasta, hay/straw, fingerpaints and paper mache, since they are products that almost always contain wheat and/or are likely to get under his fingernails. Other… products that may contain wheat are glue, paint, and ink. To be clear, [Student Name] does not get a reaction just from touching gluten, however if it gets on his hands and fingers it could be transferred to his mouth. I would be happy to review the ingredients of any craft products in the classroom to determine if they do contain gluten. If they do, I will be happy to provide [Student Name] with a suitable substitution.”
Do you know how much Play Dou Keira eats in a day!?!??!?!
