No More Monkeys

No More Monkeys. One of Ali's favorite books. The story finishes by saying, "But no one said anything about the couch...." So imagine a silly girl ready for a nap on Saturday afternoon jumping on the couch. "Alicyn! Stop jumping on the ....." (Big tumble and LOUD SHRILL).

I thought it might need a stitch or two, but the doc just glued it together. She did great. Not a peep once we got in the car to make the trip. She is pretty proud of her glue, but like most 2-year olds still LOVES to jump.
