Sigh....

For the past week, when I come to daycare to pick Hayden up, she takes off in the other direction away from me. Yesterday, she hid in the playhouse in the backyard, with the little plastic door shut to keep me out. :(

When I pick her up, she cries and flails and reaches out for Heidi. To make matters worse, she says Heidi, and Ella (a girl at daycare) along with "Daddy". Still no mommy. Today, I called Brian and ended up crying. I KNOW it's fine, it's normal, it's so far from the end of the world, but I had a bad day at work, and I guess I just wanted that "mommy love". And yes, she loves me. She loves me like crazy, and I know it, but I swear to God, if she says "graphite" before "mommy" I might have to give her to the gypsies.

Oh, cutest thing ever...last night Michelle, Maria and Hayden and I went to get Mexican food after our weekly trip to the playground. Hayden got her first kids' meal, a quesidilla, black beans, and a juice box. And she ate! She loved it. The two of them sat side by side with their juice boxes and their food, and it felt like going out to eat with my daughter, more than with a baby. Just a weird time shift thing. I blinked and she became a little girl. My baby is morphing.
