Doll Wrestling

Emme is very good about staying off of the beds. Only one time previously, she jumped up on our bed after we had gotten up in the morning and before we made the bed. She settled down happily in between our two pillows and was as happy as she could be. I told her to get off and she has not tried that again.

Recently, however, we have noticed that a cloth doll we keep on the bed in the guest room was in a strange position a few times, and one time was on the floor. We knew that it wasn't Rudy, because Rudy never gets up on any furniture including the beds. That only left Emme as the culprit, but we hadn't seen her on the bed. The door to the guest room is usually closed so access is limited, but we go in and out frequently and the door must have been left ajar a few times. Recently, when I was hanging up my costume for National First Ladies in the guest room closet, I turned around and Emme was on top of the bed, wrestling with the doll. I told her, sternly, "Off" and she jumped down looking properly chagrined. I am sure, however, that isn't the end and if the opportunity presents itself, Emme may again be doll wrestling.
