Here Comes the.... Candy

Abriella and I went to a festival in town last weekend. I thought she would enjoy some of the activities and maybe some of the food. It started with a parade which I thought she would like too. You know the fire engines, floats, people... but you know what... she could have cared less about all that. The only thing that she cared about was the fact that in order to see the parade she had to be strapped into her stroller. She was mad that she couldn't run out into the middle of the band or do her somersaults with the cheerleaders. She kicked and fought and cried because I was such a mean mommy to keep her from being trampled when there was so much fun to be had outside of her stroller. That was until...

people started throwing her candy and handing her fun things...

then she was more than happy to sit there and watch all the fun things go by... oh the saving grace of candy!! Yes, I have become one of "those" parents *sigh* :)
