Adia sat in my lap in the chair when it was time to be examined. Adia was really cooperative and when the doctor asked her to point at the elephant, she actually did. Part of me thinks it was just an accident, but the doctor was impressed. She did a bunch of tracking tests with Adia and then Adia got pixie sprayed. Meaning she got her eyes dilated AGAIN. She only fussed for a moment, but was more pissed off than upset. We went back to the waiting room for another 30 minutes while her eyes dilated. When they brought us back to the exam room, Adia wasn't happy. It was past 11, which is when she normally goes down for a nap. She started crying and nothing I did would make it better. The assistant finally came in and turned on Finding Nemo so Adia would calm down. Surprisingly it worked. Shortly thereafter the doctor came back. They did some more tracking tests and she looked into Adia's eyes. Adia was a perfect angel for the whole thing.
The doctor thinks Adia has a pseudo lazy eye. There were a couple times when she though she saw her eye veer off, but it didn't really. Since Adia has a wide nose bridge (like her mommy), it's making her eyes look like they're not looking together when they really are. When Adia gets more cartilage in her nose, it shouldn't look that way anymore. So, she has to grow into her nose. All her eye structures are perfect. She's farsighted, but within the normal range for children her age. She is actually towards the lesser end. Her eyes also track really well and are very straight together. The doctor does want to see her again in 6 months, just to be sure nothing changed. Adia was very happy to be leaving.
When we got home, Adia went right to sleep. She was exhausted. She was only asleep for a little over a hour when Gampa and Unky Eck arrived. They were picking us up to head back to the coast. We loaded all out stuff into the car before and woke her up. She didn't give me a chance to wake her though. She must have already known it was time to leave. She cried part of the drive and never fell asleep. I fed her 1/2 an eggo and a string cheese.
Our first stop was Gamma and Gampa's house. All of Eck's stuff was out because he's home for the summer. Adia soon discovered it and tried to take it apart. She was sidetracked by the cat. For some reason she's now scared of the cat. She follows it around the house, but runs for the nearest person if it gets too close. When she decided she wanted to pet it, she did fly by pets. She'd run by and gently touch it on the head before running off. Adia had playing with Eck. She closed him in the pantry and would open and close the door, saying "Hi" and "Bye." It was so funny to watch and Adia loved every second of it. Eck said his face hurt from smiling because he though it was so funny too.
We soon went back to DiDi's house. Adia looked all over for DiDi, but couldn't find her because she was still at school. We visited her and then walked home with her. Adia was so happy to see her and all the toys. She ate a good dinner (grilled cheese) and took a bath. It was after 9 before I got her to bed and she woke up at 5:45 the next morning. I think she would have gone back to sleep, but when she woke up, she realized where she was. She jumped out of bed and went running for DiDi's room. DiDi wasn't so happy with the early wake up call.
We spent the morning at DiDi's house. Adia only took a 45 minute nap and then ate lunch. Since it was lunchtime for DiDi, we headed over to surprise her. It was already really hot outside and we had come to the coast to escape the heat from the valley. It backfired a little. (DiDi read in the paper that it was 99 in Florence on Friday and only 88 in Eugene) Adia and I were only planning to stay for lunch, but DiDi said her class would love to meet Adia. They haven't seen her since December (I think) and were always complaining that they see pictures, but never her. We didn't know how she'd react, but she seemed to really like them. She was a little spooked at first, but was soon talking and walking around. When they left for PE, Adia tried to follow them. I thought she was going to cry when she couldn't. She was so happy when they came back. She also has several new boyfriends. I don't know what it is about boys and Adia, but Scott's going to be in some serious trouble. One of them let Adia play with his bracelet and told me after school that if he gets another one, he'll give it to DiDi to give to Adia. I thought that was super sweet.

After school, Adia started to lose it. She'd been awake almost all day with hardly any nap. When she got back to DiDi's house, she seemed ok, but had another meltdown when we went to the store. She grumpily ate some dinner and then freaked out at bath time. The only way she'd get in the tub was if I joined her. She clung to me at first and started crying when I washed her hair. Eventually she was back to herself and I was able to get out. I thought she was going to stay in forever though because it was so much cooler than the tub. I got her to sleep by 8:30, but it wasn't an easy task. She fought hard and kept coughing. I put vapor rub on her chest and it helped for a little bit. I went to bed with her around 10 because I was worried she was going to wake up crying again.
She was up at 6:20 today, which wasn't too bad, but still early. She went running in to see DiDi again, but couldn't get her out of bed. She ate a good breakfast and we headed back to the store to make a few returns. Adia was in a pretty good mood, but when we came out of the store, it was already heating up again. I think Adia's running a fever again too so I dosed her with Tylenol. After a snack and a big fight, she's napping. I don't think it will last long, but anything should help. After she wakes up and eats lunch, we're headed to gamma and gampa's house.
