At least we are able to get vaccinated for Covid. Getting vaccinated doesn&#8217;t mean you are invincible but just not getting severely ill. Then, when i  think that things are looking up.. the variants come to play! Sigh.. it doesn&#8217;t get better does it?<\/p>\n<p>Still, for sanity.. we sent Meghan back to a new daycare. She loves school but it was a rough start in the sense that she had to follow rules and get used to mandarin. I think our efforts paid off.. she finally got used to bilingualism and is speaking mandarin! Pretty proud of her as she wasn&#8217;t speaking mandarin at all &#8211; now she&#8217;s reciting chinese poems and singing songs!<\/p>\n<p>This year.. we find more signs of Ringo getting old and slowing down a little. He eats, barks but.. we found a &#8220;blood blister&#8221; on his body. Vet recommended autopsy and we plan on doing that next year with his teeth cleaning. Ringo is such a sweet boy and we just hope that he is healthy.<\/p>\n<p>For us, Bing and I have been toying with moving.. we will see how this goes next year. <\/p>\n<p>Ahh&#8230;best part of 2021.. Meghan is no longer allergic to eggs!!! Nothing.. is more important than this! Not allergic to eggs doesn&#8217;t mean that her eczema ia cured but.. at least we know she doesn&#8217;t have a immediate reaction to eggs which needs medical attention asap.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s hope that 2022 will be even better for all.. especially Meghan!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We ended another year of pandemic.
