Hot Pink Monkeys

I bought new swim suits for the girls and they're green-and-white seersucker with little hot pink monkeys embroidered on the skirt on the bottoms. (Hmmm . . . that description sounds pretty awful, doesn't it? You'll just have to trust me that the seersucker-monkey combination is actually pretty cute in a little-girl-preppy sort of way.)

I showed one to Michal and asked her if she liked it. This was her response . . .

"Oh Mommy, I love monkeys because they climb up trees and that reminds me of climbing up ladders and I love climbing up the ladder to the top of the slide because that reminds me of house painters and house painters remind me of painting and I love painting."

So there you have it. She loves monkeys, climbing and painting . . . and her new bathing suit. And boy can she talk fast!
