This past weekend Tony, Matthew, and I spent several hours on Sunday looking for a couch for our living room. Although, it isn't the most pleasant thing to do when 8 and 3/4 months pregnant, I knew it would be ideal to have a new comfortable couch by the time Matthew's baby brother arrives. We didn't have much luck finding one on Sunday. Monday evening we went to Gallery furniture. I wish we went there first for many reasons. First, we found a very comfortable couch. Secondly, Gallery Furniture is the most child friendly store I have ever been to. After we bought the couch we didn't want to leave. There was an indoor playground that
unfortunately Matthew didn't have time to play in. But the most appealing feature to Matthew was the MONKEYS! In the middle of the store they have a monkey playground where you can watch five monkeys play and climb. They were so cute and toddler-like. They seemed to be playing games with Matthew's toy monkey Bongo through the cage. They would jump at the toy monkey and then sprint away. It was very funny. Tony, thought I was freaking out the real monkeys by pretending that Bongo was one of them. Gallery Furniture had a photographer who pulled out a monkey from the cage, Jinx, a white-
throated capuchin. He swaddled him like a baby and we got a photo of Matthew holding him. Maybe this is good preparation for Matthew's baby brother.
If you need furniture I highly recommend Gallery Furniture and no Mattress Mack didn't pay me to say that. When you go, make sure you check out the monkey's, especially if you have a two year old.
