Monday Matinee: Monkey Washing Cat

I mixed Chimpy's favorite video to loop so I would have to press 'replay' only 100 times a day instead of 1000. Here it is for everyone to enjoy.

*For you primate purists, we know the difference between apes and monkeys and, yes, we know not to call a chimpanzee a monkey.

Four Picture Friday: Baby Doesn't Love Disco

We checked out Baby Loves Disco last week. It's advertised as a baby dance party and we thought it'd be fun to check out.

At best I figured it'd be a babypalooza with playpens, ball pits, etc. At worst, I thought it'd be a bunch of clubbers and hipsters trying to prove they could be both parents and cool.

It turned out to be an uncomfortable mix of the two. The real problem, though, was it was way too loud for little ones (it welcomes kids 6mos to 7 years, but should really be for 4 year olds and up) and a little hyperstimulating, too. It didn't take long for the scene to wear thin, so the papas suggested we move the party to Foley's Irish Pub around the corner. Twenty minutes and two pints later our nerves were much restored.

Chimpy: Is that mom wearing a gold halter top with leopard-print platform shoes?

Sis: Get your mom's BART tickets and we'll blow this joint.

Final verdict... Baby Loves Disco: thumbs down, Hanging out with Sis: thumbs up!

Four Picture Friday: Work and Play and Rice and Bananas

Working with Mama.

Playing with Daddy.

On our way to Chimpy's friend Sis' house, we picked up some rice for Chimpy's dinner. Chimpy got into it en route.



Here, Chimpy and Sis share a banana and race to see who can eat it fastest.
