Shes a pretty cool kid.
and I couldn’t ask for anything more in a daughter.
My oldest daughter loves frogs and bounces around the house just like one. My son loves sharks.

My son is like a horse. He is cautious (especially in new surroundings and with new people), clever, loyal and smart but also a free spirit!
My daughter (4) is like a deer. She is always moving with incredible grace no matter if she is playing a board game, running through the yard, brushing her teeth, telling a story, or dancing to music. She is also quietly aware of her surroundings at all times, and seems to belong in the forest.
My son (22 months) is a lion cub. He’s powerful, playful, happy, and curious. His play is constant training for his adult life but also fun and joyful, and his paws are huge. You see him and just want to snuggle that fuzzy thing, yet someday he’ll be the king of the jungle.
My daughter is like a kitten. She is very curious and yet shy and quiet. My son is like a money, always on the go, curious and energetic!
My daughter is so interested in learning! She is always observing reminds me of a monkey!
My house is a zoo. My oldest daughter is like a puma, quiet and deliberate about everything she does. My son is more like an elephant, loud and strong and knocking things over as he plows through life with a big smile and a voice like a trumpeting trunk. Finally, my youngest, she is a monkey…playfull and funny and full of ideas bouncing everywhere. She is who she is and she has no filter and because of that she is always entertaining us. I love being the zookeeper of my house

My son and daughter are both monkeys at 2.5 years and 11months old they climb on and over everything.

I have three boys. Together, they are like a barrel of monkeys – bouncing on the bed, bumping into furniture, bounding through the house. They leave a trail of evidence behind them – shoes, towels, toys, pillows, backpacks – so you know where they’ve been.
When you get them alone, my middle son remains bouncy, but with more purpose, like a kangaroo with somewhere to go. In the water he becomes a dolphin – sleek, friendly, and agile with a huge grin on his face. He’d like to have a themepark/ zoo/ aquarium funland when he grows up.
My oldest son loves sharks – every school report for 4 years was about a different shark. He is always vigilant and alert, looking for signs of distress or unfairness, ever hungry for more knowledge. His intellectual quests never end and someday he wants to be a marine biologist, perhaps for his brother’s aquarium!
My youngest son makes us laugh and is full of drama. He can throw a temper tantrum like a howler monkey, snuggle up like bear cub in winter, and amuse us with antics and expressions like a chimpanzee. We expect that he’ll end up in the entertainment industry, perhaps performing Broadway revues at the theme park!
Life with my three sons is never dull. They’d love to see the Carnival of the Animals.
my son is like a puppy! He is inquisitive and fun and loves to learn but he is also so snuggly and lovey.
My grand daughter is like a squirrel. Always scurrying around, climbing on everything and “hiding” things everywhere.
At first I was going to say a monkey but I noticed there were alot of monkeys and dogs. So I thought and thought about something more unique. She moves alot and is very expressive. Actually she is a chatter box. I heard a story this week about a friends noisy parrot. My sister had some large white birds that made alot of noise so I think she is like a chattering parrot.
Dauntless and inquisitive, my four-year-old little penguin is well known to approach any newcomer to make introductions, ask questions, and enchant his new friend. May they be young or old, big or small, male or female, my son will boldly address a new face; he has no fear of people – Only love to give.
My daughter, Sarah is like a gazelle, graceful and fast
My 2 1/2 year old daughter often mimics a kitty cat. Ever since Halloween, she dressed up as a cat and has been mimicking it.

My son is a little monkey, like most almost 4-year-olds, swinging from couch to chair and back again, laughing at us all, quick and bouncing.
My youngest daughter is a sweet little bear, always willing to give a hug but forever a strong and a huge presence in the room.
My almost 4 year old daughter is most like a dolphin. Always wanting to be in the water, whether in a pool or bathtub, she doesn’t even care that it is January and freezing outside, she wants to go swimming in the pool!

My son is a lap dog. He is loving and small. He is much smaller than kids his age. He needs to be groomed because his hair is always wild and a mess. He also loves to give kisses.

My oldest is like a tiger, quiet and calm most of the time but known to have explosions of energy. My middle one is like a rabbit constantly hopping from one thing to the next and full of energy. My little one is like a bird, pretty but known to screech when she wants something.
I would say a swan graceful and beautiful but if you make her mad she will chase you all over!!
When I was going for a walk with my now four year old a couple of years ago, a watching neighbor observed, it’s like walking a cat. I totally agreed and he has proven many ways he is like a cat. When walking he can’t be rushed and he never walks in a straight line, he just goes where there is something interesting. He loves to nap in the sun. He is much more of an observer than a noisy kid. He watches and takes it all in.
My daughter likes to gallop all over the house pretending to be a horse complete with the whinny!
My middle son’s nickname is Monkey Boy, he’s so like a monkey. He’s silly and he climbs everything and he just makes you smile.
