Hailey in all of mommy's fun stuff after I got back from National Rally in Dallas. She is definitely a girly girl!

September 2009

This month Hailey started up her tap and ballet dance classes. What a difference does a year make! She LOVES it this year and does so well. This is going to be great for her and a chance to make some new friends outside of daycare.

Hailey also started preschool this month. She is loving it and doing really well. Lately her biggest thing is doing puzzles and loves doing them! And the new thing at daycare is "Your my best friend" or the "your not my best friend" talk amoungst the little ones. Hailey is constantly hearing from me that we are nice to everyone and we don't people that they are not our friends. Hailey is also a loud child in school her teacher says and sometimes bossy! ha! I have to say though I am glad that she is loud rather than quiet and shy, been there done that and would rather her be the other way! I'm an anxious for all of the school art projects that she will be coming home with this year! I've got a folder started already of her work and I can't believe it but I get now why mom saved all of our papers from school all those years! Trying not to be as bad and only keeping the favorites and sending the rest off to the friends/family.

We also this month went to Disney on Ice 100 years of Celebration! Just went last night and Hailey did not know what we were getting into. She was very apprehensive about the whole thing and wasn't really sure what to think. We walked in and there were instantly all kinds of stands for Disney toys and tshirts and dolls. Very overwhelming for Hailey! All she wanted to do was get to our seats. I talked her into going and getting one of those light up toys that were out there hoping that would get her excited and she liked that idea.

The show started and Hailey was amazed! She clapped and waved to everyone! She loved it! And I don't think she actually believed what was happening either! ha She really enjoyed herself and when we got back in the car to go home she tells me she wants to go again on Tuesday! haha ok Hailey!

Now for Halloween she wants to be Belle....that should be an easy one!

Summer 2009

Wow I can't believe that this summer has already come to an end! Yikes! We had a great time this summer. Join the Zoo and went to several of them in the area including out trip to the Fort Wayne zoo where we stayed over night. Hailey's first hotel visit was not so great, took forever to get her to sleep but she loved jumped on the beds! Also went to our yearly visit to the Great Darke County Fair. Hailey loved the rides this year and also took her first turn on a Kid rollarcoaster. I was so nervous about (I hate rollar coasters) and I was not sure how she would do. She was a brave girl but she did not enjoy it at all. Scared to death and I was in tears watching her. Not a fun moment at all!

Over all the summer was great, Hailey has definitely grown up a lot since her birthday in March. Her imagination is alive and well! She loves to play dress up and anything princess is her favorite. She is also really starting to pick up on words of songs and sing along and even make up her own songs. She has become quite the actress/singer lately with the occasionaly show she will put on!
