It's time to go home!" Erin continued shouting, her voice hoarse from shouting similar expressions all day. Then she stumbled over the leash that she was carrying, "Whoa… Come on Nico!" Erin shouted, regaining her balance.

To know who Nico is, we can look at the context provided in the story. Erin is calling out for Nico, indicating that Nico is most likely a living being she wants to find and bring back home. We can infer that Nico is probably a pet or a person based on the mention of a leash and the use of the pronoun "he" ("Come on, boy!"). To find out more specifically who Nico is, we would need more information from the story.
8. Where did Nico go?
The story does not explicitly mention where Nico went, but we can infer that Nico is somewhere in the meadow or nearby based on Erin's search for him. We don't have enough information to provide a specific answer in this case.

The story does not explicitly state the reason why Erin has been shouting similar expressions all day, but we can speculate based on the given information. Erin has been searching for Nico, and shouting similar expressions may suggest that Nico has been running away or wandering off frequently. The exact reason would require more information from the story for a definitive answer.
