Dog sitting and Reality setting in...she's not a baby anymore!

So this weekend we got a chance to dogsit my sister Kim's dog, Joey.  He was perfect and Hailey and I absolutely enjoyed him.  He is exactly the kind of dog I hope to get some day when the time is right.  Though our cat may object to a new furry family member, that will just have to be something she gets over.  Below is a picture of Hailey and Joey relaxing together...I think they got along pretty well don't you agree? 

Also this weekend, Hailey and I went to the park and for once it wasn't all crazy crowded and we actually got to enjoy it and I not being stressed out about loosing Hailey in the mass.  Hailey and I swung on the swings together for a while and I just really enjoyed that time with her.  I can't believe how big she is and how she's not a baby anymore but she is definitely a little girl!  Lately this has been hitting me in the face like crazy with getting a letter from her kindergarten teacher, Mrs Sofia, and her list of school supplies.  Talk about a wake up call on a Saturday morning that literally put me straight into tears and a huge knot in my stomach.  Hailey is ready for kindergarten but mom definitely isn't ready for her to be this old already.  As much as I try to deny it the evidence shows otherwise.  If you're family or close friends...grab tissues when you see the pictures of Hailey on the playground at the park, trust me you'll need them...that's what 4 years will do to you!  YIKES!  Ok now I'm crying...it can't be true!
