Miko song

Jeff and the kids heard the song "7 years" while we were in San Diego. There is a part of the song that says "my mama told me go make yourself some friends..." Now it is said quickly enough that "me go" sounds a lot like "Miko", Kyle's beloved monkey. So this song is known as the Miko song in our house. And Aaron likes to sing along with it. A little snippet of him singing it in the car. 

Kyle's monkeys

Miko and Albert are Kyle's monkeys. They are his prized monkeys. It used to just be Miko. Then Albert came along from Grandma Sondra and Auntie Judy and broke into the inner circle. Other monkeys had tried, but Albert has been the only monkey that has successfully become part of Kyle's inner circle of monkey(s). Each morning, he brings them downstairs as he starts his day. They eat breakfast with him. Before leaving for school, he sometimes sets them up for the day. Here is how they were left today. On the couch, with a blanket and a remote. And notice that Albert's tail is wrapped around the back of Miko. What love.
