Hailey before her first dance class & Mya

2008 Trick or Treat

Hailey's first dance class

Hailey had her first dance class this week on Tuesday. All I can say is, it was the cutest most adorable thing i've ever seen!!! I think I had the biggest goofiest smile on my face the entire 30 minutes.

At first i was worried because it all happens so fast, the door opens and the previous students come out and then the next class goes in. But Hailey did well, she followed everyone and put her book bag along the back wall and then stood with everyone else. She at first was kind of off in the corner and then she eventually went in line with everyone and started doing what the teacher was doing. She's behind since the classes started in September but I think she'll catch on quickly.

She absolutely loved it though and cried when we left. :o)

I did take pictures but have been so bad about uploading them and getting them developed its terrible!

New family member

Well....this may come as a shock to some of you but last week we got a kitten! I know I so not a cat person but I've really been wanting a pet and I knew Hailey would love it. No pictures yet, I know I don't know why I haven't done this yet...I'm slacking! Her name is Mya and she is a gray, tailess kitten. I guess that there is a bread of cats that don't have tails, so she has a little fur ball where her tail would normally be, pretty cute actually.

Surprisingly though she is really into us. The first night she hide under the couch all night, mostly I think because Hailey was laying on the floor staring at her...can't say I blame her either. However she has since warmed up. She is actually really good with Hailey. Mya lets Hailey carry her around, in which every way Hailey feels like carrying her, from the neck, butt up in the air, etc. and she just takes it all in. I thought for sure Hailey was going to get scratched or bite but not yet. Hailey will sit on the couch and Mya will come up and sit on her lap or beside Hailey.

So for now it seems like this was a good move....Mya is here to stay! Will try to post pictures soon!

Ballet here we come!!!!

I am so excited!!! I have wanted to find a place where Hailey could take dance classes just for fun because she is so into dancing/singing right now that I know she would love it. Plus with it getting cold out it'll give her something to do in the winter so she doesn't get bored.

Well this past Friday night I was having a jewelry show and the hostess was telling me that she was busy with her girls dance classes. I was like AH! Where do they do that at and she is like oh my aunt owns a dance studio in Troy!! Oh my gosh I was so excited to here this. This lady has a daughter who is 3 and loves it and she said her aunt would probably take Hailey since she is over 2 1/2 years old!

So hopefully they will have classes at a decent time that H can go and it'll work in our schedule! I asked Hailey last night if she wanted to take dance classes and she said YES!!!! So hopefully it all works out!

Another crazy week...

This week has been absolutely crazy. Monday evening/Tuesday Morning Hailey had her first rough pick up and drop off. No idea why see cried when I picked her up on Monday, and it wasn't a she didn't want to leave cry either. Lately she's been real clingy with me at the drop offs in the morning at daycare. Feel bad for her because we've been running late in the morning so I haven' tbeen able to stick around as much as I normally do. But she is still doing great with school. Yesterday she got skittles because she was the only one who would pick up toys. she was pretty proud of herself.

A little boy at school has also declared her as his girlfriend. I guess they were walking about holding hands and the teacher asked him if Hailey was his girlfriend and he said yes and then they continued to walk around holding hands for a while and then didn't talk to each other the rest of the time they were outside. Sounds pretty typically....hahaha!

I got new glasses which I'm adjusting to them finally. They really bothered me the first day or so that I had them but my brain seems to be adjusting to them finally. I like them! Should be getting my second pair either today or tomorrow hopefully!

Just updating...

Things have been crazy lately. Hailey's had to go with me to a lot of things with jewelry stuff but she's had fun doing that. Had my new jeweler's training show this past Sunday and Hailey saw a lady there who looked like a grandma I guess and she sat on the lady's lap the entire time. :o) She had a blast and was so good.

Seeing Hailey play with other kids really shows me that she is not an aggressive kid. Another child there saw Hailey had a sippy cup that looks like hers and just walked up and took it and Hailey didn't fight back she just cried and was heart broken that her cup was taken away. All was fixed but it just really shows me her personality.

Last night had a jewelry show for a friend and she went with me too. She was the only kid there but she ruled the show. She helped me pass out the jewelry and was telling everyone to try on rings and how cute they were.

Her knew thing now is to look at pictures of herself. Now when we go to bed she wants to see Hailey! We lost our electric this past Sunday and didn't get it back till Monday afternoon and that's what we did was look at pictures of her instead of watching a movie before she went to bed. Now its a big thing to do. Any time I am on my computer she wants to look at pictures of herself.

Hailey is also becoming much more pickier about the clothes she wears. I'm going to have to start picking out 2 outfits at night that she can pick to wear in the morning. Today I was about to walk about the door and she decided that the dress/leggings she had on was the most uncomfortable thing in the world and she couldn't get them off fast enough!
