Michael's Chocolate

With Michael's allergies, he has been denied many of life's little pleasures.  Chocolate is one of the things that he hasn't been able to have.  Even if the chocolate doesn't have milk in it, it seems to be processed in a plant with nuts.  So... Coley did some research and found chocolate that was allergy free.  We ordered some chocolate bars and chocolate chips for Michael to try.  

It was a happy day when Michael was finally able to eat a square of chocolate.  He kept holding out his hand for more (even before he was done with the square in his mouth).  

Later that night, I mixed up a batch of allergy-free chocolate chip cookies for Michael.  Abby was very interested in the chocolate chips.  Michael took the package, held it out in front of him and said, "My chocolate.  M-M-Y-Y-Y chocolate!  M-M-M-Y-Y-Y CHOCOLATE!"

Just look at that happy little face getting ready to eat his very first chocolate chip cookie.
We had a very happy little boy and a very happy mama that day!

(Even without eggs and butter, the cookies actually look normal.  They don't taste too bad either!)
