Storytime

Braden's beloved monkey, DeeDee, has been featured in a few posts. I received the little monkey as a baby shower gift from the mother of one of my friends from high school. Who knew this little animal would be Braden's favorite ever since he was a baby?! The original DeeDee was getting worn out, so we figured we'd need a back-up. After all, it had been dragged through sand, dipped in hot candle wax, and slobbered on in Pepper's mouth. With a few clicks of the mouse, we tracked down another monkey. Although we hid the 2nd monkey, Braden discovered it one day. The expression on his face was priceless, rivaling that of an expression I'd have after winning the lottery! We've told him DeeDee's "cousin" is just visiting and will have to go home soon.
Braden named the monkey "DeeDee" before he could say "monkey," and it just stuck. Apparently DeeDee is a boy....seems like all names are unisex these days!
Braden was just hanging out with some of his other monkeys. All have creative names such as DeeDee's Sister, Brother, & Aaargh the Pirate Monkey.
Braden told his monkey's to wake up when he was reading to them. Guess he is the only one who likes books about bugs!
