"Monk-mey"

Luke is beyond in love with "Monk-mey." "Auntie" Sarah sent this monkey to Luke after he was first born, and it is now Luke's regular companion. Monkey goes everywhere with Luke (although, he finally agreed to let Monkey stay home from school this week!).

Here are a few shots of Luke and "Monk-mey" enjoying the park together:

And, a few more after Monk-mey took a seat on the bench to rest:

Monkey eats breakfast

Luke loves to pretend these days. He races his cars around saying "zoom zoom," he tucks his stuffed animals into bed, and today, he fed Monkey breakfast.

Yes, in case you're wondering, Monkey DID need a bath after this breakfast endeavor (the banana was only the beginning), however I made sure not to tell Luke that because he might have insisted upon immediately putting him in the tubby. Instead, Monkey got a quick spot clean, and he is now enjoying a full laundering experience while Luke naps :)
