This is so true. When Christian was a few years old he went into an attack at the doctor's office. Yep, I said the doctor's office. She had a chalk and board that the kids could use while waiting for her in the room. I was so relieved when he went to school that they now use the dry erase boards and smart boards. I use to go crazy with my milk allergies when I went to school. No one ever linked the chalk to milk allergies. We have come a long way. Oh, by the way, our doctor no longer has the chalk and board in the rooms. Sending hugs your way.

Oh geez, thanks for posting this! I never in a million years would EVER think of this! Granted, most schools have moved to dry erase boards by now, but this is certainly something I should talk to Leo's teachers about in the future!

What we have to look out for with FA kids :/. Its mind-bogling!
