Jaren and I had a goal this year to take Hailey on at least two dates a month. We were doing good for awhile, and she was LOVING it! Unfortunately we have slacked off. Things get busy, there was work for Jaren, Hailey had school and activities, and we just kind of put it on the back burner. I am realizing how much Hailey needs this one on one time with us, and so we are going to make it a priority again. As much as she loves it, we love taking her out too! This date was going to be Jaren and Hailey, but I needed to return something to the mall, so Hailey and I decided to make a date out of it. We headed to JC Penny and returned what we needed, and ended up doing a little shopping. Hailey is really starting to LOVE looking at clothes, it's so cute. We picked out matching dresses for her and Addy, and then Hailey got two pairs of shoes, Addy a pair of shoes and a pair of pj's for Hailey. We ended up buying two dresses, three pairs of shoes and pajamas for less than fifty bucks, not bad. Two pairs of the shoes were only five dollars each, on clearance! At one point, Hailey started folding a shirt on one of the shirt tables and looked at me and said "hold on, I'm working"...haha. She's so funny! We ended up going to Coldstone after the mall, and then to Payless Shoes. Hailey got two more pairs of shoes. Of the four pairs she got, three are sparkly and glittery! She is really into sparkles right now. When I mentioned it to her she said, in a really high pitched voice... "When I see something with sparkles I want to buy it!", then she ran around like a little spaz...haha.
Trying on a pair of shoes with a heel. She was pretty
disappointed that they didn't fit her quite right!
Love the pose...haha. She put on a fashion show
for Jaren & I with her new clothes and shoes.
Her cute little pj's she picked out!
Cookie dough ice cream, her ALL TIME FAVORITE!!!
This is such a good idea! I need to do this with mine. Hailey was telling us about her date night with you guys but I wasn't sure if she had already gone on the date or was anticipating it. Now I realize it was both since the dates are ongoing!! You are a terrific mother! It cannot be easy carving out time for one child and I'm super impressed you do this.
ReplyDeleteOh you are too sweet! It is hard to only take one, but Hailey really needs that one on one time. She is so sweet when we take her out! We should try it sometime as a double mom daughter date with the older girls! That would be so fun! I usually have to sneak out because Addy would be sad if she knew we were out doing something fun! I'm going to have to start doing dates with her soon :)
