Just Monkeying Around!

Yesterday I had a rare oppourtunity to spend ALL morning with just my little monkey! Big J had a morning field trip, Mr. T was at preschool, and Little E stayed in his monkey costume with me at home! I had great visions of us spending our morning cuddled up together (he really is quite cuddly in this costume) on one of the beds reading books for hours together. That lasted about five minutes. Little E wanted to "play Star Wars" with me... and I can honestly admit I tried my best, but it didn't take long for me to be eternally grateful for having my two little boys so close together (since they can play together so well) and start suggesting other activities! It was strange, and I had to rack my brain for "what did I used to do with just one child?" things. But we enjoyed our time pulling out the music box and playing games... and lots and lots of star wars. I even attempted a nap... but apparently that is no easier with one child than three! Isn't he adorable?! I still can't believe my baby is growing up (into a monkey nonetheless) and will soon be a big brother!
