Off to Disneyland!

I must be nuts, because I just let my little 3 year old go to Disneyland without me!!! I am still in shock at how brave I am to let her leave me not just overnight, but over 9 nights. Oh I have a feeling a lot of tears will be shed on my part over the next week and a half.

I know that Hailey is going to have the time of her life with her grandparents, and she was so excited to go. She is so stinking cute, so I know that every moment with her will be priceless for them. In some ways I sure wish I could be there with her, but I also am looking forward to 1 on 1 time with her little brother. I will post again in a few days, and that will be the moment of truth for how well I am really handling this.

On another note, I had to show this, being the proud mama that I am. This paper came home from preschool the other day, and I was so impressed that Hailey could write her name. She learned her letters at a young age, but I have not taught her how to write more than a letter "H", so I was quite impressed. Who new she could write her name? Certainly not Kelly and I. What a smarty. (She takes after her mother, ha ha )

I love the picture of Hailey! She is such a beautiful girl. I'm sure that you will do fine but if you need a friend to talk you through the rough times I'm here. :) I'm so proud of you for being brave enough to send her off. I still haven't spent a night away from Bennett and he's almost 3!!

That would be hard... (not letting Hailey go for 9 days, but not going to Disneyland yourself! ha ha J/K) I'm sure she'll have a blast at Disneyland with her grandparents =).

Wow-one less kid sounds like a party to me. I am sure you will miss her but if she is anything like Ben I bet she won't notice you are gone:)
What a great job of writing!!! That is very exciting!

She's in good hands - that'll be a comfort - but yes, you'll miss her. I've done crazy things like that many times before ;) Those are some pretty impressive fine motor skills she's got there!
