Little snapdragon's really become a crawling fiend[1]. She also knows where daddy works when he's at home. These days she beelines over to my office every chance she gets to say hi and to take another stab at The Step--a maybe 3" height difference between the house and the weird enclosed porch room Thing I use as my office[2]. She has almost figured out how to overcome the insurmoubtable gap; I'll have to babyproof in here soon.
idk if I have mentioned it yet but it is so funny. She has to be on one knee for stability, but the other leg has to stick straight out for Maximum Power when scooting a long in a weird not-quite-tripod clunkaclunka crawl ↩︎
It is carpeted and (poorly[3]) insulated and even has hip faux wood paneling, but it also has a external door leading to it and has a window looking into it from the house proper. ↩︎
honestly what the real issue is is probably the single pane windows and the fact the actually external door is what amounts to an interior door--and a cheap hollow core one at that[4]. But it does have mystery drafts at the floor too. This is an old house that has--based off some old newspaper sleuthing--been transplanted at least once and seen several renovations of questionable technique[5], which brings some Excellent Character, a byproduct of which is building character calvin's dad style ↩︎
we're waiting for the replacement to come in; its dimensions are... Weird ↩︎
and according to anecdotes the was and the is don't entirely align either... I wish I could get photos that convey the absolute majesty that is the attic mystery ↩︎
