Monkey See Monkey Do

Stetson has a stuffed monkey that he loves. Monkey has been a friend and companion keeping him company during the night. Helping him during nap times, or when he needed a special friend. Like when he had the tubes put in his ears in June. We got out to the car and buckled him in, then I handed him Monkey, he grabbed him and buried his little face in him as if to say, "Monkey, you will never believe what they did to me in there" We'll we have had an extra monkey hanging around the house, we keep him downstairs and Stetson plays with him on and off throughout the day. Actually this monkey has been most helpful to me, because Stetson sees that Monkey sits still while we change his diaper. So Stetson has been more cooperative that way. Well last night we decided to play a "trick" on Stetson so when he went to bed, we took monkey # 2 upstairs with us. After we said our prayers, read our story and started our music, we got ready to lay Stetson down. So I decided to hand Stetson Monkey, and I held up monkey and monkey # 2. He looked at Monkey #1, then #2, then back to #1. He couldn't figure out what was going on. So he grabbed Monkey #1 gave it a kiss and threw him into bed, then grabbed Monkey # 2 gave him a kiss and threw him into bed, then after begging to get our kisses we laid him down and with a monkey in each arm he fell asleep. He is such a little monkey himself!
