Being quiet is NEVER a good sign...

So you would have thought by now with Hailey being 2 1/2 that I would have learned that her being quiet should set off alarms and bells and all kinds of red flags....but it doesn't...still!!!!

So last night, I'm in my room working on some stuff and Hailey is out in the living room and in my head I'm thinking she is playing with the cat or playing by herself. Continuing to do my work and I yell for her and ask what she is doing....no response....

A little while later I walk up to the room and I look around and I don't see her and I look down and she is hiding underneath my island under the bar stool with my PURSE, all contents out and with gum wrappers in her hand!!!! Made her spit it out and I took my stuff back and told her that mommy's purse is not a toy and that needs to stay out of it.

So I got back to my room again, working on the computer and again....I hear nothing for a while....yell for her again and she doesn't come....hmmmm??? Walk back out there and she is now under the END TABLE with my purse and all its contents out and now 3 peices of gum in her mouth!?!?!?!?!?

Needless to say, she was put in timeout....but man was it hard to not laugh at her hiding in the spots she chose....ahhh 2 year olds

Moving away from daycare...

So next week is Hailey's last week at KinderCare. My cousin Becky, who has always been my back up sitter and who I really get along with out of the blue offered to watch Hailey full-time if I wasn't really happy with daycare. This totally through me for a loop and had to really make me think.
I've never not been happy with daycare, Hailey's only been there for 2 1/2 months and so I didn't know if we gave it enough time. But after some consideration and talking over things with Becky we're going to do it. It'll save me some money, which will be great and I think Hailey will love going to Becky's every day.

Hailey has never complained about going to school (daycare) but she is always ready to leave, has never fought me on staying, which that makes me wonder because she has always fought me to leave a sitters that she has enjoyed. So this will be a good move...Becky is so active with her kids, going to the pool, library, parks and picinics with her kids. It'll be great for Hailey and I'll love her being with Becky.

With me working so much, I want someone who is going to care for her like I would and give her the attention she needs and yet allows her to be a kid too. So we'll see...
