Bates & the two cashews

Bates loves peanut butter - he eats a lot of peanut butter. I learned a very important lesson about peanuts and tree nuts - they are not the same. I gave Bates 2 cashews. Ten minutes later he threw up, fell asleep for about 15 minutes, and woke up with horrible hives. I was panicked! We called the emergency doctor line and we were listing out all the symptoms and she said it sounded like a food allergy - so the cashews (the only food that day that was a first. Bates is not upset in these pictures. He is laughing like a crazy man. The hives cleared up in about 3 days and never bothered him - no itching at all.
