A poor attempt for a mom to make a son happy

This is my son's Monkey. He's had him since he was like 1 or 2 I can't remember. At build a bear... it's been so long I can't remember whether we names the monkey, "Arturo" or "Daniel" those are both my son's names idr but I also call my son "my lil monkey" since he was lil... my other lil pet name for him...
I'm the eldest cousins from my mom side well my siblings and I are all the oldest but seeing as I'm 7 yrs older than my bros it leaves big gaps for my other cousins. So we always have one of my aunt's kids over on their breaks 14yr (boy), 11yr (boy, and he bullies my son wtf bitter) , and 9yr (girl,  basically my son's bf)
so my lil girl cousin had a teddy bear in a dress... so my son had his monkey naked and I finally found him the sweater he had. Danny was so happy he had clothes he suddenly wanted him to be fully clothed... "Oh goodness!!" whatevahcame to my head and I thought, I would be able to distract him... but no!bummed

if he was from Toy Story... he'd be waving .... yup he would be!! silly

I went to Walmart because I got him to go to mass by saying i was going to take him to the store. Once we were there he want yarn to knit the clothes... if he knew how hard it was, he wouldn't ask me to do what ever again. confused He wanted blue... (of course, a boy's favorite color... ) so we found cloth... I bought a yard... didn't know it was that much but ok... I can work with it.

Cut out a piece.

I sewed the edged ... and then for a while i was stumped wtf i didn't know where to go. this freakin' cloth looked like a skirt and I was tempted to leave it at that... but I can't. It's a boy monkey. What was i thinking... son wasn't happy about my "lame" suggestion.

So yea I cut it right in the center... why didn't I think of this earlier.. Make thing less complicated.  clueless

Now it looked like pants... sweat pants but pants none the less... i has to keep sewing. I had my little needle in one had and was stitching and stitching and every couple minutes my son would ask, "Are you done yet?" And I would stop for a second because i was still on the phone and he would give me a face  wtf "Why are you stopping?" angry "When are you going to finish" ... Kids!!1 I should have made him do it... and then he would have stopped with the whining.
Well, it was my first time making pants...
End Product!!!!!!!!!! laughing Yay!! I was finished. or so I thought.

Monkey happily wore his pants...

Oh but i had to make a hole for the tail "Duh, Reyna!!! *facepalm*

So now, the Monkey happily wore his pants or so I thought!

Pants were too long. I had an unhappy customer. sad *sigh* angry *grrrrrr*

 He wanted his monkey to have slippers... *sigh*

so, I cut the edges of the pants... and started sewing again...

Voila!!!! He is the monkey with sweat pants and slippers!!! laughing yay!!!


*THE END* heart
A Poor attempt of to make son happy... with clothe a monkey. pleased

Now, he wants a hat and gloves... i might as well make the blanket too...
