I know that sounds so stupid, but it does make me happy. I’ve only had it about a week now and it’s already brought me some sweet memories, especially this morning. It has perched and watched me do my homework. It has watched TV with me and the kids. But this morning my lovely little Isa tried to take it out of the house, take it to school. I managed to get it away from her and when she realized it, her face fell. I couldn’t stand that look, so I gave in. I let her take it with her. She lit up like she had been given the world. All over a $3 pink sock monkey. I love that it could bring her such joy, I love that she wanted to take care of it and carry it with her. I kind of got the impression that part of the reason she wanted it so badly is because it was mine, it was something of mine she could take with her and I love that feeling. Even if my silly little monkey ends up getting damaged, it was well worth it to watch my little girl hug it with such ferocity.
