Monkeyshines

Every day with Prince Tyger is always an adventure.  And he is always, always(!) - except when he is sleeping - busily playing hard and testing new limits.  He loves to set up his plastic-covered foam shapes in the form of a hill and then to climb the hill

so that he can slide down or jump down or do whatever takes his fancy.  But a whole new dimension is added when he has playmates - and the Tyger isn't too particular about who his playmates might be.  On this day, his two toy monkeys stood in for live playmates.  Green and White Monkey is soft, scrunchy, cuddly and floppy.  Fully-Dressed Monkey actually scares his Daddy!  Neither seems to have a proper name yet.  Fully-Dressed Monkey is supposed to help the Tyger learn about buttons, zippers and snap closures, among other things.  But today, even Fully-Dressed Monkey took a break from teaching to join in the fun.

Prince Tyger discovered that his monkeys can slide down the hill almost as well as he can.  So he spent some time in helping them to do it, even adding in "Whee! sound effects.

The Tyger had to make sure that "Gama" was paying attention to all these monkeyshines.

And then he charged over to see how he looked in Gama's camera.  Prince Tyger loves to see pictures of himself.

Prince Tyger will probably never know what it was like in the Old Days - before digital cameras.
