Monkeying Around

If there's anything cuter than babies, then it's babies with giant stuffed animals.
Rai, already you're lucky to have the beginnings of a fantastic stuffed animal collection. The cream of the crop is an old giant ape that used to be your Uncle Sterling's favorite stuffed animal when he was a little boy. Now, it's yours and sits on the top bunk of the bunk bed in your room at your Grandma's and Grandpa's place.
You love it up there in that top bunk. We came to pick you up the other day and found you hanging around in the bunk, sitting comfortably in the arms of the giant ape. You were right at home in the soft, enveloping fur. The good times were not limited to giant monkeys, though. Playing with you was your Grandma, skillfully puppeteering a stuffed dog so that it looked amazingly lifelike, it's tail wagging, it's mouth opening and closing.
Clearly there's no end to the good times when you're with Grandma and Grandpa. There will soon be a day when getting you to leave and come home won't be as easy as picking you up and walking out their front door...
