Welcome to my blog, be sure to visit Abby's Antics, story's about my Sweet Abby Girl

Thursday, May 6, 2010

This past Sunday I had my whole family over for a combined birthday party for my husband, and my two sons in laws.  Well, all my grandchildren were there also, and the little five year old had a little purse, and inside the purse was a little stuffed monkey. She and, her younger sister are into monkeys. Well, I forgot to tell her to make sure she did not leave the purse laying around, especially open where Abby could get to it.  Well, Abby did get the purse, and the monkey inside. 

We were all sitting in the family room, when my daughter said “mom Maggie just went outside with something in her mouth”, so I got up, and went outside to see what she had, and sure enough Maggie had the little monkey in her mouth.  Now Maggie is not at all like Abby. I told her to put it down and she did, however Abby grabbed it, and off she went, on a run with this little torn up monkey in her mouth.

Well, I kept telling her to drop it, and of course she did not want to right away, she wanted to play keep away.  I finally got it from her, but she had pulled the legs off the monkey.  So I showed it to my granddaughter, and she looked at me, and said, with a sad little face “ you better go, and show that to my mom and dad”.  Well, you can imagine, I felt so bad. On my way back to the house, my son came out, and asked me if Abby had gotten the monkey. I said yes, and showed it to him, I told him I would replace it, all he could do was laugh, and told me not to worry about it, as she has a ton of monkeys, and would not miss this one at all.  Come to find out, she has not missed it, but I still feel bad. I am still going to see if I can find one just like this one, and replace it for her. Abby try’s to be good, she just can’t help herself.
