I told ya!

This past Sunday, we had to run to Target to get another Snow White costume for Hailey. We rushed out the door and headed on our way. Hailey was exhausted and her sugar high was definitely starting to wear off from the day of trick or treating with her dad. Half way to Target Hailey starts to whine for her blanket. Pretty sure we didn't grap it when we left the house, I jsut proceeded to tell Hailey that we didn't have it and that we left it at home. Well this made Hailey even more frustrated with us and she cried and just kept saying over and over again that she wanted her blanket. And so finally, I turned on the car light and was like Hailey do you see it? (Hoping this would show her that in fact that it was not in the car to hand to her) Instead Hailey goes yeah its right there! HA! Whoops! Told Hailey sorry over and over again and she just simply says "I told ya!"

One more time Mom!

Hailey's new thing lately is after we do something she always has to say "One more time Mom" or 2 more times or 5 more times! We are definitely into those trying 3s phase!

This past weekend we had a great time but man was it frustrating with her! She didn't listen for anything and finally resulted to getting her butt swatted a few times.

This weekend we went to my favorite little pizza place, Deweys, and Hailey did fairly good, just always wanting to go over to the other booths and peak over. Saturday I took her to go get her hair cut fixed. Got it cut a week or so ago and the girl missed a huge section. So we did that and then went and got our coffee at Starbucks (she gets her strawberry smoothie but its her coffee and don't ya dare tell her any different!). She took a nap and then we went to a jewelry show, she went with me and hasn't been to one in a while. She did really well! Came home and then went grocery shopping, which she repeatedly asked for a toy over and over and over and over again! Ordered mexican food and she actually ate a soft taco!

Sunday was church and so did really well for not being there in a while. Then after that it was to the pumpkin patch! Chad had taken Hailey the weekend before so she was a pro and knew where everything was and showed us around! Best of all she loved the slide that landed in a pile of strawl! I think she could have done that all day! And of course every time she went down the slide she would ask "One more time mom?!" We rode a wagon out to the pumpkin patch and got to pick any pumpkin we wanted.

That evening we carved and painted our pumpkins and also made sugar cookie dough to eventually make pumpkin cookies out of them!

It was a great weekend...even if everything was "one more time!"

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!

Spring/Summer

Wow it's already memorial day weekend...I seriously need to get better as posting things.

After Hailey's 3rd birthday towards the end of March she got sick with a bad flu bug and was basically sick for 1 1/2 weeks. Cutest moment ever was when she was sitting at the island with me coloring and real serious looks at me and goes "Mommy I'm purring" ha! Her stomach was really making a lot of noise and she thought she was purring like our cat Mya.

Easter was great, Hailey loved her Easter dress and the easter egg hunt was a hit.

I got laid off for a short period of time and was so looking forward to spending the summer with Hailey at the park and the pool and doing fun things. But I got called back which was fine we'll just have to make our weekends together that much better. So Hailey is back in school (daycare) again and she loves it and I love it too. They did a Mother's day presentation for all the mother's and it was so cute. Hailey's entire class walked out and was all glued to their teachers...never would have thought it was their mom sitting out in the audience...Hailey would even hide her face from me. It was very cute and made me very proud to be her mom.

Lately, Hailey has been showing that she really does have a good heart. One morning this week, me and her got into it about the clothes she was going to wear that day. It was supposed to eb over 80 degrees and of course that is the day Hailey wants to wear jeans and her pink boots. I told her no because it was going to be too hot. She threw a fit and layed on the floor kicking and screaming. After a very short time (which surprised me) Hailey came up to me and put her arms around my neck and said she was sorry and hugged me and gave me a kiss. What a sweet precious little girl I have....independent as all get out and I love that but with a very big heart too.
