Got it like this:

decodeNotes : Decoder (List DailyNotes)
decodeNotes =
    list (field "day_entry" decodeDailyNotes)


decodeDailyNotes : Decoder DailyNotes
decodeDailyNotes =
    map2 DailyNotes 
              (field "id" int) 
              (maybe (field "notes" string))

Didn't use type alias Notes at all and also added "maybe" to the "notes" 
field.

Hopefully it helps somebody.
