So Monkey is fast approaching the terrible twos. She throws tantrums for no apparent reason, and then - if properly distracted - switches right back to the happiest kid on earth. It's like watching a split personality; you could get dizzy trying to keep track of which emotion is in control!
But what really entertains me is Monkey's recent adoption of the personality of Supreme High Ruler & Commander of All She Surveys (SHR&CASS for short).
SHR&CASS comes out when something happens and Monkey disapproves. For example, SHR&CASS this morning directed that we walk on the OTHER side of the street.
OTHER SIDE OTHER SIDE my g*d woman don't you understand it is imperative that we walk on the OTHER SIDE of the street? I crossed the street and all was well.
Plus, Ollie (our beleagured cat) dared to sniff Monkey's cheerios the other morning. Monkey, I mean SHR&CASS, immediately demanded that the foul cat STEP AWAY FROM THE CHEERIOS FORTHWITH. (ok, on this one I don't blame her, Ollie really did look like she was about to take a nibble...)
And, interstingly, SHR&CASS now dictates which outfits (including jammies) shall be worn. And not just by Monkey. SHR&CASS dictates that Taz (Monkey's stuffed animal toy from Hobart, Tazmania that is....yes, a Tasmanian Devil) wear a specific necklace around the apartment.
SHR&CASS dresses the devil. Need I say more?

Bunny wears devil horns. They definitely need to get together. What havoc they would reign down on the world
