Naughty Poki



Poki has been very naughty lately and Evan has not been pleased with her. Poki has the bad habit of finding Evan's stuffed animal friends around the house and "adopting" them as her babies. She carries them in her mouth and gives them baths. It's kind of cute at first, but it has quickly become a pain. I throw Evan's friends in the washer to get them clean again, but lately Evan has been getting really emotional about his friends. If Poki "gets" to one of his friends, tears start flowing and he gets really upset that they need to get washed. Once they are clean, he sits with his friends on the couch and if Poki walks by, he hides them behind his back or sits on them. Sometimes we forget to put them away. Our bad. Totally. She can't help herself, right? But what has been REALLY naughty is that now Poki will go in Evan's room when we are away and take friends off his bed and bookcase. NAUGHTY POKI! Today was the first day I kept Evan's door closed while we ran errands. I think this is the only way to prevent future mishaps. I told Evan we were shutting his door so Poki couldn't get to his friends. Being the empathetic little dude that he is, Evan went and shut my brother's door and bathroom door so that Poki couldn't get to his stuff, too.
