Randomness… (monkey, ants, fashion, peas, etc…)

Remember me telling you a couple of weeks ago that I have a monkey?

Well… she’s still climbing on everything. And because of this… we had to rearrange the living room… again. As you can see in the first few pictures, the couch is on the half wall that is separating the kitchen and living room. Sweet Pea thinks it’s so fun to climb up the couch and get her sippy cups and bottles and salt and pepper and other spices that are on a shelf on the other side of the half wall.

But Mommy and Daddy don’t like this. Now, don’t get me wrong… we laughed the first few times she did this because she is just so darn cute! But we have to think about her safety. If she falls down into the kitchen, she could get hurt really bad… or it could even kill her! From what I understand… that floor is straight up cement under that tile.

Anywho… Wednesday, while I was trying to get supper started, she kept climbing up there. So… after I put her down 5,758 times… and then flipped out on her… Mr. Right and I decided to rearrange the living room…

So, now the couch is on the opposite wall and the recliner is over by the half wall. It seems to be working just fine. She doesn’t climb in the recliner much. Now the only problem is that she likes to lean over the arm of the couch… So I’m going to get one of the couch pillows to keep on the floor JUST IN CASE she flips over it. At least it will be a soft landing. Haha!

I came home from work one day last week and Maw Maw said that I was going to whoop her and Paw Paw… Sweet Pea got in to ants while I was at work that day… :-(

Her poor little feet and ankles were covered in bites!! She had a few up on her legs too, but they were mostly on her feet. Luckily though, she never once scratched at them or cried about it. It never seemed to bother her!! I was very thankful of that! They have dried up now and she just has little scabs in some places. Paw Paw said he wasn’t taking her outside NO MORE! Haha! (I would hope not considering the heat index has been over 100 degrees lately!!!)

Anyway! The other night Mr. Right bathed her and got her ready for bed and I just laughed and laughed at what he put on her!

Isn’t that the funniest thing! Haha! I was just glad he was dressing her for bed and not to go out in public!!

I thought this was funny too. She had her big dog that we got her for Valentine’s Day and she was pulling it’s hair out. Ha! I thought it was hilarious. It was almost as if she was searching for fleas on it. Haha!

Oh! And I forgot to mention last week that I bought her a potty a couple of weeks ago. I know some of you are thinking… “She’s not old enough to potty train!” But I bought it to have just whenever she is ready. So, lately I have been sitting her on it every now and then to see what she does. She just kind of sits there for about a minute and then she gets up and starts taking the potty apart. Haha. But this morning, as soon as she woke up, I ran in and took her to the potty and she sat there for a little bit and the next thing I know… SHE’S PEE PEEING IN THE POTTY!!!

I was so excited!!! Now… I know this might not happen again for a while, but ya gotta start somewhere!!

I don’t know if she understood what she was doing, but I showed her that she pee’d and she went to reach her hand in the potty, but I stopped her before she touched it. Haha!

Anyway… it’s there whenever she decides she is ready to train.

I also bought her some Pull Ups the other day because I thought it would be easier for training, and they obviously give her a wedgie. Haha! Her little butt cheek is always hanging out on one side. Ha!

Here she is enjoying a Mrs. Field’s chocolate chip cookie! YUM! Those things are sooooo good! She only ate half of it… I finished the rest! Ha! I told her that, in this household, we don’t waste chocolate! ;-)

We were over at Maw Maw and Paw Paw’s the other day shelling peas. Well… let me rephrase that… Sweet Pea and Paw Paw were playing and me and Maw Maw were shelling peas! Ha!
