Monkeys

What is it that is so fun and appealing about monkeys? They have such cute faces and jump around in such a clever way. And I guess we love them because they remind us of ourselves!

When the kids were little, we always referred to them as monkeys, probably because they enjoyed climbing so much. Madeline used to climb up our laundry pole. Gabriel always enjoyed climbing the walls inside the house until Joe saw him and told him to keep his grubby paws off the walls! The kids were also good at clinging like monkeys. For years, I found it difficult to walk anywhere without 1 or 2 kids grabbing onto my legs. Anyway, with all the monkeys hanging around here, I thought it would be good fun to do a blog on monkeys.

Here are some cute monkey pictures and a couple of cute monkey songs...
