Annastasia is a charachter, to say the very least. She has her own ideas, likes, dis-likes, idea of fun and idea of naughty, plans, and more. Often that is funny to watch, and even participate in. Notice I said often and not always.
OFTEN you are reminded (if you are paying atttention) that she is a monkey, and a wild-child one at that and spoiled. Often too you are reminded, that she needs a firm hand and some boundaries, that she is less sure she needs and wants. But for her health and safety – that is how it is!
So you can imagine how often I wince when I hear “I want a monkey!!!” from many a person, young and old. After all they are a full time job 24-7 times years, and years and years. You can’t put them away, ignore them, kennel them and run to the sotre, or a movie. You can not allow biting or oinching or scratching, and that said you will be bit, scratched and pinched.
It is a BIG committment!

anna’s mom (committed to the long haul)
