Day 2- Concession Stand troubles

Today was crazy busy!  We had wrestling tournaments all day, which makes the whole gluten/dairy free thing that much more difficult.  When everyone is eating doughy pretzels drenched in nacho sauce, walking tacos with the works piled on, and candy bars galore, Max ate apple cinamon rice cakes and kettle corn.  I knew it was going to be difficult, but it was almost painful!!  I tried to appease him with a grape fizz drink, but it didn't last too long.  Definitely a learning experience!  I think I am going to have to look into gluten/dairy free cookies or something. 

As far as what he ate:
breakfast: toast with cinnamon and raisin peanut butter
snacks: kettle corn, rice cakes
lunch: jelly sandwich on gluten free bread
supper: gluten free spaghetti with meat sauce and salad with orange poppy seed dressing.  Spaghetti was a total hit.  The salad, well, while Max does actually like salad, it is required to have ranch dressing on it.  He did eat one leaf of salad with the Orange Poppy seed dressing on it, but he made an awful face and said he wouldn't eat anymore.  I, on the other hand, thought the salad tasted fantastic!

symptoms: he acted kinda hyper all day, but he was at a wrestling tournament with 150 kids screaming and 200 parents screaming louder.  He also had dark circles under his eyes.  He did not complain of a stomach ache.  I also think he is going to sleep better and faster at night.

He started tae kwon do again tonight.  He was excited and I am hopeful that this will help with his attention span.  It seems that he paid better attention in school when he was enrolled in tae kwan do.  Hopefully we can see an improvement.

Away from the diet: Gavin and Max both did a great job in wrestling!  It was Max's first tournament.  Max knew exactly what to do when a guy had Max on his back, but any other times Max seemed a little lost.  I think a few more practices before the next tournament would be a good idea.  Max placed 4th!  Gavin did a great job as well.  He placed 3rd!!
