As I mentioned earlier (ok, yesterday), my folks took care of Monkey over the weekend while we went up to Stockbridge, MA for a weekend of festivities surrounding our dear friend's wedding.
We drove up Friday afternoon, in order to attend the Rehearsal Dinner (aka bbq - the bride is Southern) and hang out with friends that night. This meant that we missed Monkey's End of Year Social at her school. (yes, it's a daycare. but what can I say, it's a MONTESSORI daycare and they do it up right). So, my parents went. Grandma and 'Andpa were thrilled to attend, and apparently were charming and didn't tell too many annoying stories about me as a child, that or everyone's lying to me.
After the party ended, and they all walked home together, Monkey's first act upon entering the apartment was to ask for me and dad. Grandma and 'Andpa reminded her that we were gone for the weekend. So, without skipping a beat, she asked for the thing next closest to her heart.....Elmo. She wanted to watch Elmo on dvd.
Stinker! We have stopped letting her watch Elmo because she becomes a complete zombie, and when we turn it off she throws a rotten tantrum! But oh, the moment mom and dad are gone? ELMO!!!!!!!! I swear she knew we had forgotten to tell my folks not to watch it.
I'm kind of proud of her. In a sick, twisted, oh are we screwed when she's a teenager kind of way. The kid knows what she wants and how to get it!
