The Kid Acts Like a Monkey

It’s true.  I live in a zoo.  I really do.  And now I’m done rhyming for you.

You see, having kids is wonderful, but every now and again I wonder, “How did I get to this point in my life?”  My days are filled with non-stop cleaning of the messes Dawson makes.  From picking up toys (4.6 million times a day) to making sure he hasn’t accidently peed on the floor in the bathroom (who said raising boys was easy, right?) I honestly believe I live with a little monkey.  It’s no wonder he likes bananas so much.

The other day I woke up to find my son climbing the drawers in the kitchen to get on the counter top and scavenge the cupboards for the treats I’ve hidden on the top shelves.  I shreiked when I saw him and he didn’t even flinch.  He just laughed and I swear he made a monkey sound, too.

Now don’t get me wrong, my little Dawson is amazing and I wouldn’t trade him in for anything else in this world, but sometimes I want to hide under the covers and let his father handle all the chaos.  But, at the end of the day when I see him crash (literally) for the night, I think to myself, “Zoo life really isn’t so bad.”  It could be worse, right?  At least this little monkey is potty-trained.

  1. Hi, I stumbled here. This sounds like a day in my house except my daughter is the monkey surfing the top shelf and her twin brother is peeing on the bathroom floor. I know people whose kids never threw a leg over the crib rail. I can’t imagine not having a monkey.

  2. Monkey kids scare me. Thankfully mine are not.
