Little Monkey

Trenton really is a monkey with the way he climbs things and jumps around like a wild chimp! :-) But now he actually has a little monkey. I bought a harness at Target that is a monkey backpack with straps to go around his chest and the tail is like a leash. It sounds awful to have your kids on a leash, but with two now, this will be great if we're walking around a park or the zoo or the mall because it will allow him the independence to walk without getting away from me. Plus, any hesitation I had about it is now gone. He loves it!! As you can see above, as soon as we put it on him, he started running around screaming with laughter. He loved the fact that Landon had him by the "tail" and would pull him back every now and then so he'd bump right on his butt. At one point, he ran into Lita's room and shut the door on Landon, but his tail was sticking out. Landon grabbed it and heard Trenton try to run away from the door and then fall back because he was caught. He thought it was hysterical!
