You know those leashes for babies? Well, I swore I'd never use one. Then when we were going on our cruise I got all neurotic about Syd running off the end of the boat or something. So I bought one & didn't end up using it.
And I haven't used it yet but Sydney has pretty much adopted the monkey/backpack part of the leash as a baby. It took me days to figure out what she meant when she said, "She-baby like a burrito". Which which roughly translated is: "Wrap this girl baby monkey up like a burrito".

"She-baby" - that is pretty cute!
I admit to having one for my little guy too. He loves to wear his "kee-kee" and seems to behave pretty darn well when he does. I end up rolling the tail up in the backpack because he does so well. I've had a few disapproving conversations with some of an older generation, but all-in-all, I'm a fan and so is my kid. :) We haven't used it for a while, but yeah, he loves to play with it.
Hi,
I found your blog one or two weeks ago while looking for Halloween costume ideas, and suscribed to the RSS. I live in Quebec, Canada (the French province); I have a two-year-old boy and an 8 months-old baby girl, so we're in the same phase of life, it seems. How old are yours now, exactly?
Your blog is fun, and I like your shopping tastes. Plus, you have charming kids.
I also thought the leash for kids concept was appalling... before I had a little gnome on two feet running around public places. He's well behaviored, overall, but, well... a kid's a kid. I still haven't bought one and I want to resist temptation on this one, but they DO make them so darn cute, with the monkey backpack. Oh well... Xavier won't wear backpacks anyway.
Take care,

We have an unused monkey leash, too!
I probably wouldn't use one if I got it too, but man, wouldn't it be nice to have them stay where they're supposed to stay?
Edward thinks they're inhumane. I personally think they're a great idea now that I have 2 unruly, disobedient kids:)
We have one too. I've used it maybe 2-3 times. I bought it when Rae was about 18 months old just because I thought she would enjoy having her own backpack and then if she got too crazy I could keep her close. And the other time I remember using it was when I flew alone with both kids and we had to get from the "remote parking" to the actual airport with lots of luggage. It was really handy that time. I haven't gotten too many disapproving looks. Not that I'd really are.
That's cute that Syd has adopted it as her baby :)
