So we spent some time debating on which basketball goal would be the best for her age, which would grow with her better, which would be more sturdy, etc.
And then Miss Independent wanted out of the basket. And within about 20 seconds she found her new best friend. She picked this monkey out of a whole slew of stuffed animals and immediately fell in love with him. She just sat down on the floor in the middle of Toys R Us (big sigh....that floor is disgusting) and hugged and kissed all over that monkey. Mas just looked at me and said "we HAVE to get it, she loves it!" Boy, does he have some things to learn, hu. There are going to many times in her life that she isn't going to get everything she loves! But it really was pretty adorable--I don't know what is was about that monkey, but you couldn't wipe the smile off of her face, and I gave in as well (even though we have tons of other perfectly soft, cuddly, huggable stuffed animals at home.)We decided to forget the basketball goal for the time being because she was interested in nothing but her new stuffed companion!
So Mr. Monkey got a bath in the washing machine when we got home (how many snotty nosed kids drug him all over the filthy aisles just like Saylor did? Yuck!) and he is now her constant sidekick!
We'll work on the baller thing later I guess!

She is such a sweet, loving child! Love, Terri
Ahh, Sarah, who would have thought to take Mr. Monkey home and wash him to get rid of germs. What a super mommy you are! Saylor is precious.

Stuffed monkeys are the best!! I actually still have the one I was given when I was 6 months old. Crazy I know! :)
How cute!!! I'm guessing Saylor is the cleanest, most germ-free baby ever! :-)
