Take me to the Fair - 08

We went to the fair yesterday - weather was great, but it was so slow. They had a 40% chance of rain and we decided the weather's been so unpredictable that we can't make our plans based on the weather. We had fun after we established the 3 strikes and you're out rule when Shara had several fits and didn't stop until we started to leave. I don't know what was up with her but Alan thinks she was just having fun playing us. He's probably right, and it was really annoying. I'd have been really annoyed if we left for that reason.

We ate a little too much and the jambalaya was not so great, but it's good to try new things. Rather disappointing because it smelled so good. Alan's kabobs were very good, as usual and i had a good baked potato - broccoli & cheese topping, hoping Shara would have some broccoli. Shara had 2 italian ices - ate almost all of Alan's and then had one of her own. She liked the lemon ice the best. She also and a huge hot dog (don't think it was a foot long, but could have been) and the roll, while we watched the magician. The fries were had in the car on the way home. We pet bunnies - so soft, and Shara even went to the bathroom all by herself - I stood outside the stall. Shara's favorite part was eating the treats. She also loved looking at all of the rides. I'm sure she'd like it even better at night. The music was good - a retro 50's band, and it was fun watching a group of older women singing and dancing. That's pretty much when we left because it started to really look like a storm was brewing. We got to the car and it started to sprinkle before we left the area.

I'm hopeful that Shara's fits are going to be over. She screams and gets so mad when she doesn't get her way. Really bratty stuff. The other night she slept with us because we watched A Bug's Life and she was scared of the grasshoppers and didn't want to sleep by herself. We decided no more movies but now I'm wondering if we should do the movies, knowing that it will also be a night of her sharing our bed. I'd have no problem with that. Not sure Alan will like that. She went to bed just fine last night, so the fear of starting a habit is gone for me. That's the biggest fear I have with her wanting to sleep with us. But other than her pushing me to the side of the bed, it's not so bad having her with us. I actually like it some times.
