The Inadvertent Nap
Today was an interesting day. Hailey didn't want to take her nap today. Which, isn't really what makes it interesting. She was actually very typical of her nap times lately... She'd lay in bed, chatter a bit, whine a bit, and then start disassembling her room. What also happens during these times, whether it is intentional or just by chance... She typically loads up her diaper with that oh so wonderful smelling crap stuff. (Hey, I'm TRYING to keep it clean!)
Well, lo and behold, she doesn't end up taking her nap... This really puts a different spin on the evening because at this point, she needs to go to bed earlier than usual. Well, Mom and Hailey decide to spend some time at the gym. During their time there, Hailey was entertaining some older kids. When Mom went to pick her up, the kids were all saying how much fun Hailey was. Then one of the girls asked what her name was because when she kept asking Hailey what her name was, Hailey kept replying, "Two."
After the gym, they bopped over to Target which happens to be right next to the gym and used Grandpa Dave's gift card to buy a pink pony and a little baby doll (as seen above). On the way home, Hailey was asking to open the baby doll. Anyone who has opened a baby doll knows that this is not a task to do while driving...
Anyway, they made it most of the way home (which is only about 8-10 minutes) and Mom noticed Hailey wasn't asking about opening the doll anymore. Wouldn't you know, it's 6:15 and Hailey decides she needs a nap. Talk about frustrating! All day hoping she naps. What does she do? Not nap. 10 minutes in the car. BAM. Out like a light.
I was home by this time, and I thought it would be fun to wake her up and bring her inside from the car. I unbuckled her from the car seat and lifted her up. She gave a little head roll and then layed her head on my shoulder and went right back to sleep.
I walked into the house, closed the door, laid her down on the couch... Still nothing. I took off her coat, lifted her up to pull it out from under her... Still nothing! This from the girl who wakes up often at the sneezing of the crickets... Man! What a night.
Goodness gracious! This long of a story and you'll be thinking Mom wrote it! All of this was to tell you three things:

- Hailey says alot of funny things.
- Thanks Grandpa Dave for the gift card!
