Pizza Party in Kindergarten

I cannot believe that Mia Rose is almost graduating Kindergarten. Such a bitter-sweet moment..ah, this is the sentimental Mama talking in me. I am so happy for my big baby girl :). Today Rose's class celebrated with a pizza party. The Kindergarten teacher's ordered pizza in. How fun! The teacher announced the plans for the party last week, so we had plenty of time to plan for it. We had the option to bing regular lunch, or participate. How could I expect my child to eat her "standard" lunch while all her friends are eating pizza?! No way!

The original pan was for me to bring the pizza - pepperoni from Pizicato to e exact - at lunch time; at the time I did not realize that I had appointments at that time. So we adjusted our plan, ordered and picked-up the pizza last night. This way, also Alena had lunch for pizza in her lunch box, and Ma Rose proudly brought her pizza box to her teacher. Yay!!! Mia Rose was SO excited!!!

They had a great time with Mia Rose eating her Galactosemia safe, milk free pizza and her friends eating their "regular" cheese pizza. Oh, and just in case you are wondering: no, I am not worried that they would share food, or Mia Rose trying "unsafe" pizza. Mia Rose, her teacher, and friends all know that she cannot have "regular" pizza as it is not safe for her. I am so happy!!!

I didn't realize our kids are the same age :) My oldest graduated kindergarten a few weeks ago. I can't believe how quickly they grow up! Growing up I always had to have cheese-less pizza since I had a major diary intolerance. Luckily I outgrew it (for the most part ice cream is still pretty much a no-no). That is so neat they had a pizza party, what a great way to celebrate the end of the school year. Cute pictures :)

Mia Rose is my youngest, and Alena is about to graduate from second grade :) I know, it so just crazy how time flies...Both of our kids have a rare metabolic disorder, so when Alena was first diagnosed we thought that pizza parties and such would never be possible :) I am so excited that we were so wrong, and that all of that is possible by empowering our kids :)

What a wonderful thing. As a mom, it's tough whenever we see our kids being left out. It's so great that you were able to work out a way for her to join right in (on her own body's terms). Congratulations. And good job, mom.

Have a great weekend. Stopping by from SITS.
