Gotcha plus one month

It has been one month since we got Mia and it seems like we have had her forever. It hasn't all been happiness and light for us. I can only imagine how horrifying it has been for her. Pretty much like the stories of getting abducted by aliens and having medical tests run on you. Last week I had to take her in for eye tests. They weren't pleasant but her eyes are doing fine. She has a loss of vision from not having the right nutrition but no surgery is needed. Apparently, the eyes need some fats to develop properly which weren't a large part of her diet. They don't want to fit her for glasses for one year as doing so would stop the brain's natural drive to improve. I'm relieved. There are some fights you just don't pick and I've learned with her it is whether of not she will wear a hat. I can only imagine glasses.

"Look at this nice hat Mia" Mia pulls off and throws on ground. I retrieve. "It's a really nice hat Mia". Mia pulls off and throws on ground. I retrieve. "You need this hat for sun protection Mia." Mia removes hat by turning herself like a corkscrew and attempts to throw herself on the ground. "I can't let you just sit out in the sun Mia" while putting hat back on Mia. Mia folds herself in two, begins whining and lets out a shriek. Hat goes flying on the ground. We then continue to sit out in the sun sans hats to watch Aidan's soccer game while getting disapproving looks from the other parents.
