She has multiple food allergies (soy, gluten and dairy are the big ones). This year I prepared her in advance about trick-or-treating and how there probably wasn't going to be things in her bag she could eat, but she could trade them in for safe things when we got home. I had gotten some Surf gummy bears, which she traded her bag of candy in for 3 gummy bears, never asking or mentioning it since :) Julie- I hope Halloween was fun and safe for everyone! Thanks for your comments. --Diane I worry about this holiday every year as my daughter gets older and starts to understand what its all about.

Thank you for posting this. My son is 3 years old and has gotten so excited this year about decorations and pumpkins, hayrides, etc. He will go trick or treating but will not be eating the candy he collects, instead he likes to count them and organize them into piles! We will be donating our candy. Thanks for your great blog...we absolutely love it!! Fettya, I think I finally have figured out how to thank people for leaving a comment. So Thank you!

So our solution is simple: I get fat. Bridget, Thank you for your comment. Hope that works out for you two. --Diane My fiance claims to be allergic to nuts, which is like hitting the jackpot for me because I'm a nut fiend. So our solution is simple: I get fat.
