As everyone knows, one of my favorite place to go is the zoo.\u00a0 We love going to visit the polar bears and elephants and watching the meerkats play, but my favorite place is the monkey trail.\u00a0 It is so much fun watching the monkeys jump around and climb all over the structures.\u00a0 I think last time I was there, two of them must have climbed into the stroller and disguised themselves like Jack and Ella, and come home with us!<\/p>\n
Yup, I am raising two little monkeys.<\/p>\n
The girl one grabs the bars of her cage (crib) and starts jumping on the mattress while squealing!\u00a0 Sometimes she will get so into that she can move the crib across the room I will go in to check them and find all her blankets, pillows and crib toys on the ground.\u00a0 It doesn’t stop at the crib.\u00a0 In the living room she doesn’t really play with her toys much, instead, she throws them across the room and tries to hit the boy with them.\u00a0 I guess it is better than throwing poop like they do in the zoo.<\/p>\n
Now for the boy monkey.\u00a0 He truly embodies everything about one!\u00a0 He too jumps around in cage and throws his stuff out onto the floor, but he takes it a little further.\u00a0 His new thing he does to avoid taking a nap is taking off his diaper and peeing all over himself!!!\u00a0 I don’t think I have enough sheets to make it through this phase.\u00a0 I have been lucky enough that it has just been pee.\u00a0 You may be asking, “Why don’t you just put pants on him?”\u00a0 Well, I have two answers for you.\u00a0 First, we live in San Diego in a house that heats up like a sauna and second, when we do put him in pants he always manages to take them off and throw them out of the crib.\u00a0 Next comes the living room.\u00a0 He is becoming the little climber!\u00a0 He has figured out how to climb up on the couch.\u00a0 We have been dreading this for awhile now because we use the couch as part of our baby proofing barrier.\u00a0 He has almost figured out how to climb out of the pack n play.\u00a0 This sucks!\u00a0 The pack and play is where I contain them when I need to get something done or run to the bathroom!\u00a0 I guess the next step will be to put a top on the pack n play and start charging people to come over and gawk at our little monkeys.<\/p>\n
I won’t be surprised when they start climbing on the coffee table or picking bugs off each other or the dog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
