I really can't believe I've been so remiss in taking pictures and blogging that many of you have never seen Dax's Best Friend.  If you attend FCUMC and we've passed you in the halls in the past month, you'll recognize it.  Presenting ...

MonkeyAndShoe

In case you're having a bit of trouble figuring out what it is ... well, it's a monkey tied with a bit of yellow grosgrain ribbon to a shoe. And it goes everywhere with us: Lowes, McAlister's, church ... everywhere. "Where my monkey and my shoe?" is asked before leaving the house, car, going to bed ... you get the idea.

He sometimes carries the ribbon all wadded up in his hand.

Sometimes he carries the shoe or the monkey and leaves the other to drag behind.

And sometimes he needs both hands for his exploring so he slings the ribbon around his neck with monkey and shoe to the back so they don't get in his way.

In the stores, he likes to sit in the cart and hold the shoe while he tosses monkey over the side and then reels him back in.


And he gets really angry if you step on either one.
