Sharky

Nana Easter Bunny put this toy in Trey's easter basket. Its kind of a dump truck but (as you can see) it also looks like a shark. Thus it got its name, Sharky. Trey really seems to like this toy and has spent a considerable amount of time pushing it around and loading it up with odds and ends around the house.
Every night Trey gets to pick a toy (within reason) to take to bed with him. The day after Easter Trey picked Sharky to take to bed. Sharky listened to stories and got all tucked in. Then Trey changed his mind. "I think Sharky be too noisy for bedtime", Trey explained. I told him Sharky would be fine (he doesn't make any noise). But, Trey insisted I should take Sharky out to the living room.
I ended up getting sidetracked with Kayelynn. While I was nursing her, I heard Trey's door open and close. I listened but didn't hear him. As soon as Kayelynn was finished I went to investigate. I found Trey's door shut, just as I'd left it. But on the floor right outside the door was Sharky.
What a Stinker! I had forgotten to take Sharky with me so Trey had taken it upon himself to throw him out.
The next night after I put Trey to bed, I heard his door open and close again. There was poor Sharky, abandoned outside Trey's room again. So, the next night while I was putting Trey to bed I noticed that Sharky was in his room again. I didn't say anything but left him where he was. Within 5 minutes after shutting off the lights, I heard the door open and shut again.
Hmmm. This was getting interesting to me. What did Trey have against Sharky? He still played with him by day. Rex thinks that when the lights go out, Sharky begins to look sinister. I can't resist testing this. Every night now I make sure that Sharky is somewhere in Trey's room. And every night with in a few minutes of putting Trey to bed Sharky gets tossed out in the hall. I am wondering how long this will keep up or if Trey will ever tell me why he does it.
