Christmas Eve!!

Christmas Eve is the most exciting time of the year. There is so much anticipation built up, and Christmas is only one sleep away! I think the chimps have been pretty excited the past couple days and are getting a little restless for the Christmas party! So, that is why today we tried extra hard to keep the chimps (Jamie) very busy. Jamie had her normal routine of laying on a barrel to supervise chimps and/or humans (mostly humans), make her caregivers put her favorite boots on, build her nests, play a little chase, and monitor the cleaning. After cleaning the Playroom we put out fire hose knots as some daytime enrichment and I stuffed Jamie’s folio with a few crayons, some paper, and a book. Well, let’s just say Jamie has been very busy, or at least for most of the day! Later she needed a nap, nestled around her books, fire hose knots incorporated in her nest, and a boot tucked in her pelvic pocket for safe keeping!

    Do I count six (6!!) firehose puzzles at Jamie’s feet. Six!? I know you put out extra, but I hope the rest of the gang each got one, I mean it is Christmas Eve after all. ; )

    Thanks for keeping Jamie as busy as Santa’s elves today. She sure looks pretty darn pleased with all of her goodies, books, and papers. With our government now forced to shut down, it’s nice to see that Jamie is still hard at work. Well, hard at work until that last photo. Good Night Curious Jamie. (Eeesh I love that photo!)

    Happy Christmas Eve! Sweet dreams everybody. XOXO

    Great pictures of Jamie the Wise. That last scene, of Curious Jamie sleeping next to her Curious George
    Goodnight Book is priceless! A scene like that simply cannot be replicated in a lab.
