Today was Eryn's last day as an only child! She spent it being bratty and throwing tantrums in the grandest of fashions. She went over to play at her friend Colton's house while I cleaned like a crazy woman to prepare for being a slug for the next couple of weeks. Eryn was fine at their house while I was gone. Being spoiled watching her favorite movie and coloring was like Heaven to her!
Then, we went to the park and the fun really began! The tantrums were glorious. She wanted juice (which she had all ready finished). Since I had none, she started screaming for juice. That didn't seem to get anywhere so she decided to go Mom to Mom asking for juice from random people at the park! I just about died when I realized she was panhandling to try to get juice! Who lets their kids do that? Apparently, I do.
Eryn also managed to convince a total stranger to put her onto the swings (after I told her no). I had to go over and take her off and explain to the lady that she'll fall off when she decides to let go and "fly on the wings" as she calls it. So, another tantrum then ensued.
I went to the car and got the bubbles. That was fun until she wanted a turn. After another minor fit, I gave her a turn. That only caused more tantrums because she just couldn't get the bubbles to come out. Plus, bubbles doesn't taste very good when you're thirsty either. Yes, another crying fit.
Although I am sure people at the park were wishing that we'd leave the entire time there were some high light moments. She stole a soccer ball from some girls and kicked it and ran with it a number of times in a row. (Now we need to get a soccer ball.) She did manage to share fruit loops with Colton and take turns with the bubbles with him.
Eryn seemed to enjoy her last day as an only child over all. As I am writing this she's soaking in a bubble bath with Daddy playing his guitar for her to sing to. Spoiled? Yes. I look forward to many more days of spoiling her with love and things that she likes. That is, as long as she stops begging strangers for juice!

ha ha I think this is the all time funniest post! I was laughing alot. You've got a crazy one on your hands! And you're having another one? I bet the new one will be calm because u had a rougher pregnancy! ha ha. Love you guys!
I am so glad you posted this, it was too classic not to! Justin was dying laughing when he got home and I told him about the juice incident and the fact that she "missed" him at the office. Everyone at the park just thought she was funny and that she was adorable...the only people who ever really care about that stuff are the parents of the kid! Cole had so much fun and slept like a rock last night...we need to do it again...and bring an ample supply of juice!
