Coughing Associated with Allergies/asthma???

This allergy thing is all new to me as we got my daughter tested a couple months ago and she is allergic to EVERYthing except for food. With that in mind, once we put the LL bean hypoallergenic comforter in the duvet cover for her bed, she has been coughing. Not having trouble breathing per se but I did give her a shot of her inhaler and it helped. Does coughing go hand in hand with allergies?

Preparing for First Grade

Hi Moms, My son will be starting first grade in September and I'm trying to prepare for it. We home schooled for Grade K because we didn't have public K in our town last year - we live in NH. So this is all new to us. What will my son need to go to school - a backpack, lunch box, pencils, rulers, pens, notebooks? I don't know where to begin. Do 6 year olds need a backpack? What's a good one - something from LL Bean? What kind of lunch boxes work best? Do I supply him with pencils and erasers? Do first graders use pens? What about markers...
