MONKEY BUSINESS

Who is a wee monkey?

Is it the IKEA monkey that hangs from our stairwell in the hall?

Ishie and Alastair use the space under the bottom landing as a 'cubby' (as they say in Scotland. In my day we called it a 'cubby-hole'.)

No, it is this little person ... Alastair ...

who will be 3 years old next week. Because he has strong chest muscles he has the strength to support himself off the ground. He climbs everywhere and gets himself into all kinds of trouble!

He loves to lock the bathroom door especially if it is grossly inconvenient e.g. public washrooms. Here he is in the downstairs bathroom; what he doesn't know is that there are 2 doors to this bathroom - one of the unforeseen advantages of having it made 'en-suite'.

He was full of mischief on this particular day! To give everyone else 5 minutes peace I sat with him in the bathroom while he played in the sink! (Wasting water? We have a big tap in the sky ... it was worth every minute ... until the next round of high jinx!)
