Meet Daddy, our new sock monkey named after Daddy Long Legs. We were reading in our history text book about Nebuchadnezzar II building the Hanging Gardens in the desert for his wife, who came from a tropical climate with monkeys and lush vegetation. Thus, my nine year had to make a monkey, of course, stuffed with wool batting. Do I need to explain the initial confusion when she talks of putting Daddy to bed or taking Daddy on walks? 🙂
