So grown up

Yesterday we had lunch at a very nice Cafe in Thames, Coromandel. It seemed all their dishes were vegetarian, many gluten free and or dairy free as well. Anyway, I had recently heard that dairy allergies could be the cause for children needing grommets. So I decided to put Daniel on a trial dairy free diet. We are 98% vegan, but we were not religious about it. Now how ever, I am trying very hard to avoid dairy, for myself as well. Anyway. ....back to the actual story. At the cafe, Daniel looked at the food and said "mommy, just remember to get me something without cows milk in it." Ahw, I was so surprised. A 5 yr old setting an example to his mum. He understands why he can't have dairy, even if it is difficult. The other day he said " mommy, I really want some chocolate, I know I can't have it, but I really want some. " I love him so much.
