Our New Pet

My little sweetheart loves pretty much all animals, but his absolute favorite animal in the world is - without question - Curious George. Elvis and I had been thinking of a way to dress him up like a monkey for Halloween this year without spending very much money, and the answer to our problem showed up yesterday. We had taken some outgrown clothes to a local resale shop, and spent a few minutes browsing. Not that we needed anything; Henry's grandmothers and great-grandmother can't stop buying him clothes and toys. But this particular shop often has never-worn clothes at ridiculously low prices. Last year we bought H a leather jacket for $4! Anyway, as we were wandering the aisles, Elvis found just what we were looking for. It was an adorable plush monkey costume (again, never worn), and with our coupon it came out to $10! We brought it home, slightly worried that Henry wouldn't want to wear it, as he's definitely a naked baby. But as soon as he saw the thing he couldn't contain his delight and had to put it on immediately, and then stand in front of a mirror to admire himself.

So now we have lost our adorable little boy, and in his place we got an adorable little monkey. Ah well, at least this little monkey doesn't throw his poop. Oooh oooh ooooh!
