And I can so relate. Our 4 year old Em...HILARIOUS! And I can so relate. Our 4 year old Emily fell in love with a blue monkey she got for Easter when she was one. As soon as I realized this monkey was "the one", I promptly went to Kohls and got two more "back-ups". Like you, we periodically switch them out. We lost one due to her taking him everywhere when she was younger. She didn't catch on until she was three and found #2 in the laundry room while she had #1. She was ecstatic!!!! She kept saying 2 monkeys! 2 monkeys! while hugging them. After a couple days we hid one again. We told Emily he went to "Magic Monkey Land". We still switch them out from time to time - Emily has learned that one has a hole in the arm - that's "mommy monkey" and "daddy monkey" doesn't have a hole. She still occasionally finds both of them and still gets very excited. However, she never gets upset when one disappears again - she'll just say oh mommy monkey (or daddy monkey) had to go back to magic monkey land for awhile. It's so sweet how attached they get - monkey really is her best friend. When she gets in trouble and gets sent to her room I hear her crying and telling monkey all about it. <BR/><BR/>I hope Jake doesn't catch on to Santa as quickly! By the way - I LOVE his hair!Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002538631897076170noreply@blogger.com
