The "regulars" (permanent residents at the orphanage, having been adopted by Darcy, Doug, or Rayna) spent the day getting new Spring outfits. Well, all except Zeke...because he already had his Spring outfit! Then they all dressed up to go hang out in the bushes and visit!
Poor, dear Kevin was a bit dubious about the whole idea of WEARING CLOTHES. He said it just seemed un-monkey-like to him...but, we finally convinced him to give it a go. He was just starting to get somewhat comfortable in his new outfit when his person, Rayna, arrived home from school. Rayna dashed over and grabbed Lily up, oohhing and ahhing over her new outfit (much to Lily's pleasure!) and then turned to me and asked, "Where's my other monkey?" I told her, right there where Lily was sitting. Rayna went back over to the bench where Zeke, Grover, and Kevin remained and then came back to me empty handed and queried once more, "Where's my other monkey?" I asked, "Do you mean Kevin?" She replied, "Yes. Where is he?" She had looked right at him and not recognized him! She thought a new monkey had arrived at the orphanage and meanwhile her beloved Kevin had gone missing! Well, that certainly did not help Kevin warm any further to his new clothes!!!
