He has a morning routine that we hardly ever deviate from because it can totally ruin our day if we do.  He will usually wake up around 7 and start loudly declaring "Alup" (I'm up).  The next thing he will do is turn on all the kitchen lights.  If I already have them on, he'll turn them all off and then back on again.  Then we make his chocolatemilk (it's Carnation, for anyone out there judging me) and he sits down to watch Curious George.  

I didn't notice what was happening until one day I was sitting at the computer and I heard a series of high-pitched grunts.  I wondered, who had turned on the television?  And I turned around to find just Buster sitting on the floor playing with his trucks.  He had sounded exactly like that dang cartoon monkey.  Over the next few days I began to notice it more and more.  Sometimes we would have entire conversations where he wouldn't even attempt to speak.  He would just motion and "uh, uh, uh".  (Thankfully I've seen a lot of Curious George and I grew up with three brothers so I understand enough 'monkey' to get by.)  Also, the whole monkey transformation idea begins to hold more water as I watch the boy climb on and jump off every piece of furniture we own.
