One of "those" . . .

. . . can be filled many ways now.  We had a very excitement filled Sunday and not in a way that we want to repeat, ever.  The punchline is I got home on Monday at 8:30 am.  Why did I get home at that time, because I spent the night at Children's Hospital with Max.  It all started with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch.  That was the first and last PB & J that Max will ever have. 
The long and short of it we ended up at Riverside ED at about 3pm and then transferred to Children's at about 5:00.  And then finally to the Observation unit around 6:30.
Max flirted with all of the nurses, asked them for juice and played peek-a-boo. 
Zoe was a great big sister through it all.  She did her best to cheer him up.  She was really sad when she had to leave, but she was also really tired.   
So now I'll be one of "those" mom's, who has to make sure there isn't anything peanut in what her son eats, and actually will no longer mock those "peanut-free" classrooms.  I'll understand why much better and want those rooms.  So now we are "those" parents and Max is one of "those" kids. 
I never thought I would be one of "those" mom's, but now I have to embrace it and make it part of my life. 
Now the research is to begin.
