Spider Monkey

This here is my little Spider Monkey.  He is my youngest.  He will be turning eight this year and getting baptized.  He is very excited for that.  Spider Monkey gets his nickname in two parts.  Spider because he's all about bugs, he calls them his "buddies".  He loves any and all kinds of bugs and collects them during the summer.  Grasshoppers are his favorite.  He's taken naps with them, baths with them, he takes them on car rides.....he LOVES grasshoppers.  Monkey because he's always climbing something.  During the spring, summer, and fall you will find him somewhere up a tree or climbing something.  He is so small and light that he can go most places the rest of us can only dream of.  Spider Monkey is small and wiry, but he packs a big personality in that small body.  He says some of the funniest stuff that will have you laughing for hours.  He's my biggest cuddle bug, always up for a snuggle.  Spider Monkey's favorite person in the whole world is his grandpa, he loves his grandpa and gets so excited when he knows he is going to see him.  And it makes for great incentive, he'll get his chores done in  no time flat if he knows grandpa is coming to see him.
