Much to my DD's dismay, I didn't share in her excitement as she scaled my furniture and counter tops. Although genetic testing has not been performed, I'm almost positive my DD has chimpanzee DNA. (Of course I could be mistaken.) She climbed atop the couch back, the couch arms, the counters, my dining room table, and even my coffee table. After 1 warning, DD was promptly put in the naughty corner for a little monkey rehab. After 4 times in the naughty corner, I think I may have worn her down. (I'm worn down!) Of course, she did voice her opinion on the subject by labeling me "the meanest mommy EV-ERRRRR!" So, perhaps I was being a bit hasty when I said I wore her down.
As of right now, chimp girl is watching a movie and snuggling with me. It's so hard to stay mad at that teeny, smiling face. Maybe she won't climb anything else today.. Maybe. Hey, it could happen!
