Cadence had her 3 year wellness on Friday. She was very nervous b/c of the shot. She cried (prob for the first time) @ school. She got along with the nurse. I could see how relieved she was when getting her blood pressure taken, etc. that it didn’t hurt. 🙁 She had her eyes checked where the nurse pointed to a letter & Cadence had to point to the corresponding letter.

Dr. Hess came in & gave her a checkup. Said, obviously we don’t need to worry about her language skills… 🙂 Cadence was happy & engaged. Then she had a flu shot. 🙁 🙁 She was not happy. We then had to have her blood drawn for a lead test. The worst. She was crying & so afraid. Another a nurse had to hold her arm down while another drew blood. Lots of crying throughout the rest of the day. Jane took us for ice cream & Cadence fell asleep at JP Licks.

All throughout the rest of the day, every time she noticed her bandages she’d freak out again. Poor girl.

November 2015 with San San

11/3/15 Paw taught Cadence how to eat dragon eyes – just eat the white fruit! Don’t eat the seed/rock in the middle! Cadence liked it so much that Paw peeled 20+ dragon eyes for her!

 

11/4/15 Cadence turns three! Didn’t even plan the timing of that kiss

11/15/15 Cadence’s first mooncake! She had red bean and really liked it. She said that it was kinda like chocolate, but different. We split one in the car and then her dad gave her some more of his!

10/11/15 Asked Adam again to take a picture of the Inside Out crew’s halloween costumes, but instead got too many shots of nothing. As a Chin, I feel compelled to share the incredulity from scrolling through these photos with all of you! When I asked Adam about them, he said that he got bored and took a bunch of shots of Uncle Owkie.
