Monkey is Ellie's favourite stuffed toy. She said I needed to take a photo of him in his dress.....Isn't he a pretty princess. hehehe
Yes, I know Monkey isn't a monkey.....He's a lion. When we were looking around the charity shops last year Ellie spotted a monkey she wanted. As it was the first of the many charity shops on our high street we said wait and see if there's anything else you want. She didn't see anything else and when we went back to buy the monkey he had gone and there was a lion in his place.....She bought that and named him Monkey.
He really doesn't seem that sure about the dress!
ReplyDeleteCharity shops are a great source of toys, Monkey looks very pretty!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, love the story of Monkey and why not? If you half close your eyes he looks almost monkey like. I'd love to know how a lion feels being called Monkey and getting done up like a princess? He's looking rather huffy.

I think the dress works well. It's the name I find confusing though! #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteI love her reasoning. Grace would be more than happy with Monkey :) x
ReplyDeleteAhh what a pretty little monkey lion hehe, popping over from #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteLove that he's a lion called Monkey! He doesn't look very happy with his dress.
ReplyDeleteMy son loves our charity shop - every visit he finds a new friend. I am hoping one day we will be able to donate them all back and make someone else’s day. Not sure the dress is quit monkey’s thing, judging by his face 😀
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute story and Monkey looks very pretty indeed. x

Certainly a different look for a lion/monkey
ReplyDeleteHe looks a bit uncomfortable! Perhaps a shawl to keep his arms warm? #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteMy son has a tiger toy that is apparently a cat, and he gets dressed up in Build a Bear outfits handed down from big sister very often. It's clearly a thing! Monkey looks very nice!

Aww, he is so sweet and look great in a dress :) My Daughter loves to dress her teadys up too. I picked here some 0-3 month baby Minnie Mouse hug boots up from Primark yesterday. Here teddy looks fab in them :)
ReplyDeletehehe...what a lovely little story and why not hey X #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteFor a lion he does look rather monkey like, best reasoning ever for a name though
ReplyDeleteLove monkey the princess!
