She also tried to snatch one child's snack container. The grandmother kindly offered her a goldfish cracker. I had to quickly say she could have that because of her milk allergy -- I hate wearing it on our sleeve, but sometimes we have to. The grandmother didn't really understand, but I was sure to thank her. I told my daughter to find something else to play with. She's starting to understand more now when I tell her we can't touch other people's food. She shouldn't anyway, but I'm glad she moved away when I asked her to today.

Playing with other kids
We were at a play group today, which was so much fun. But when people bring out snacks, I just watch so much more closely where my little busy bee plays. Sure enough today I looked at her when she "checked" in and she had a small rash on her face and neck. Nothing major and it went away quickly. It could have been anything from a toy she touched to rubbing up on one of the pillows. I can't keep her in a bubble and want her to experience as much as we can offer her. A little rash here and there are just going to be a part of our lives for the time being.
