Monkeyin' Around

Corinne has really taken to her monkey in the last few weeks. Oddly enough, Roman and I both had monkeys as children. No bears here. I still have my old monkey, actually. So, I guess it's natural that she has an affinity for them. We really began to notice what a sidekick monkey was when we found him perched in odd spots around the house. I began snapping photos of her growing affection for showing him her life. See for yourself.

"Ready to chase Chloe?"

"Buh-bye, Dada!"

"Don't let Chloe eat the snacks, Monkey."

"Hold on tight."


"Wheeeeeee!"

Luckily, Monkey was prepared outside with his sunscreen.

"Brusha, brusha, brusha....."

Unfortuately, it wasn't Monkey who was playing around and pulled over the marble top end table, tearing Corinne's toenail. She was lucky enough not to break her big toe, but the damage is pretty gross. We've been watching and waiting for it to fall off. I have to say she's pretty tolerant of us soaking, dressing, and cleaning it. We've made such an impression that she tried to sit Monkey on the toliet to dress his toe! Couldn't get that photo, though, as we were racing to save Monkey from the realms of toliet bowl water.

Have a great week!
