*staples are not just for paper*

~he picked this outfit to wear to the Drs. Gangsta Kaden.

Kaden has been squishing in some serious doctor visits in the past month, and he is quickly becoming NOT a fan. We have been to the audiologist twice to have hearing tests done, both which he failed. We have been to see his pedi several times to see if it is due to an ear infection, but it looks like it is just leftover fluid from a cold he had a month ago. We finally got a referral for the ENT to see what the heck is going on with his poor little ears.

Yesterday we had his three year pedi appt, and they gave him ANOTHER eye test (he just had one with the audiologist two weeks ago) and he was not a happy camper. He was not a fan of the whole checkup at all, especially the shot at the end. Our sweet Dr gave him a popsicle to attempt to win him over again, but on the way out, he announced to a full waiting room that "This place is NOT fun". Poor little guy.

So today, I got a call from daycare that he fell off a bench backward and hit his head on the bottom shelf of a table. He was bleeding pretty bad, but he calmed down after a minute or so and went back to playing with his buddies. I picked him up early, took one look at it, and just about fainted. Took him to the pedi right away, even though there were screams from the backseat quoting the pedi saying "She said I didn't have to go back till I was FOUR!!!!!", and my poor lil dude had to have two staples in his head. He was so brave, and held my hands and sucked on a popsicle (brilliant that Drs have a costco sized supply of these) while they did it. Of course I cannot wash his hair for four days, and he has crazy purple paint all over his hair from some painting extravaganza. I told him now he is officially JUST like daddy, as daddy had staples in HIS head too, AND he has crazy colored hair just like him too!

We finally have had a little taste of beautiful weather this week! It was close to 70 yesterday and today and we finally had a chance to take K and his new bike out on the Cherry Creek Bike Trail by our house. He was completely smitten with this doggie in the background playing catch! After Baby Miller comes along, we need to seriously focus on finding another furry friend to join the family.

~chillin and enjoying the view at the Museum of Nature and Science.


Chad and Kaden have the such fun "daddy days". They have been hanging out at the skate park in Stapleton, and K rides his bike while daddy rides his skateboard. Kaden is now obsessed with getting a skateboard. I'm taking bets on how many staples my little guy has to have in his head by age 10!
