Ever since Ryan has been eating table food, we have tried to introduce "PKU language". We use words like "Low- protein" and "Phe". We don't like to use the words "can't eat" instead we say "doesn't eat".
Today Ryan and I had a little conversation during lunch.
Mommy: "Does Ryan eat chicken?"
Ryan: "Nooooo."
Mommy: "Does Ryan eat meat?"
Ryan: "Nooooo."
Mommy: "Ryan eats low protein foods."
Ryan: "Low protein!"
Mommy: "Ryan eats low protein because Ryan has PKU. Can you say PKU?"
Ryan: "No mommy, P Q..."

He's so smart!!
I love it! Thanks for the comment on my blog...you are right, we do seem to feel the same emotions. That's a good tip I need to keep in mind for when Carson starts eating..."doesn't eat".
