Hailey's note

Hailey was invited to her cousin Lacey's house the other day to go to Lacey's "salon". She was so excited about this. So, in the car on the way over there she says, "Sometimes I wish Aunt Alice was my mom."
Of course this  makes me a little sad, but logically I understand that it is because she LOVES going to her cousin's house and Aunt Alice is pretty fun.
So, I respond to Hailey in the most mature fashion, by saying something along the lines of, "What?! Hailey!! Don't you love your Mommy? Who would take care of you when you got hurt or sick or (enter here a variety of other things I was trying to convince her that I was needed for)."
She calmly replied, "Aunt Alice would do all of these things."
Hmm, good point.
So I tease her a little about it, and she says, "I only wish that sometimes, Mom."
Well, that makes me feel better then. Or not.
Anyways, she went off to Lacey's salon and had a fabulous time.
The next day, I did not bring it up at all. During Addison's nap time, Hailey wanted to be in her room by herself for a while. After a while she came out and said she had something for me. She gave me this:

If you sound that long string of letters out and add a lot of "wuh" sounds to the end of vowels, it says, 

I love you

I don't want to go away.

From Hailey

To Mommy

And that is me and her, dressed in the clothes we were wearing that day.  In the rain, of course.

So glad you are staying with us, Hailey. I love you too.
