Roomies

The conversation went something like this:

N: I wish Audrey didn't sleep in my room.
Me: It's her room, too.
N: Well, I wish she had a different room.
Me: We're fresh out of rooms, kiddo. If we had an extra room we'd give it to her, but we don't so you'll have to share.
N: How about we make a room for her outside?
Me: What happens when it's too hot or too cold or windy or rainy?
N: Well, she can come inside then.
Me: So, you think sleeping in a room outside is okay?
N: Yes.
Me: Then why don't we make you a room outside?
N: Because I already have a bedroom!


This is precisely the type of behavior that Natalie is hoping to avoid once Audrey's outdoor room is installed. Little sister used to just storm the castle through the drawbridge door. Now she just scales the castle walls. Much more effective for princess snatching. Big sister goes ballistic when this happens...especially when I stop to take pictures before I remove the intruder.
