Mischievous things I have found Annie-Mo doing recently;
Drinking the dog water through a straw.
Putting all the clean towels in the bath whilst it’s filling up.
Drinking the guinea pig water.
Raiding the fridge and tipping all the sweetcorn on the floor then eating some of it.
Raiding the spice drawer, sneaking off with a big bag of cinnamon and eating a big handful of it.
Continually taking out the batteries that are charging and distributing them in random areas around the house.
Putting her playmobil elephants out the catflap.
Paddling in the dog water bowl.
Yesterday she went through five pairs of tights as she kept finding places in the house where she could get her feet wet.
Leaving just one roller skate in the boys bedrooms to let them know she has been in there.
Holding Jaygo’s newtons cradle upside down so all the strings get tangled.
Taking a marker and carefully scribbling over all the shoes the characters in her story books wear, then saying ‘uh oh’ when she sees the scribbles as if someone else has done it.
Opening up the dishwasher and making off with the sharpest knife in there.
Putting all the cat food in the guinea pig hutch.
Catching the guinea pig, much to his disgust.
Catching the cat, much to her disgust.
Riding Elsie like she is a horse.
Refusing to wear slippers, keep a hat/gloves on even though there is snow on the ground.
Turning on the light in her room after lights off, unless I remember to remove the bulb.
Pointing at every pine cone on the ground and shouting ‘poo’ at the top of her voice.
Tipping all of Sophie’s carefully organised loom band collection on the floor (picture a million brightly coloured mini elastic bands) more then once.
Sneaking up behind me and biting me on the back of the knee so hard that I straightened my leg in shock which fired her half way across the room.
Writing all of this down has made me giggle more then once, it also feels quite cathartic. Annie-mo is a monkey but definitely the cutest,funniest, loveliest monkey baby in Dragondrop and we all love her lots and lots.
