Fortress of Kemper-tude: The Extreme Makeover Edition

Well, this past weekend as another episode of Daddy Daycare!

So Saturday AM, I set about making the Fortress for another lovely day of watching the Pizz giggle.  So it's all set up, and I bring in the Pizz into her lair and set her down.  2 seconds into her sitting... "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"  Nothing doing!

Seems the Pizz, with her new found mobility, doesn't want to be put in mini fortress anymore.  (Nobody puts Pizz in a corner!!!!)  She wants to be free!!!  Unfortunately, this meant that the rest of my Saturday was spent walking/crawling/chasing the Pizz around our house (and simultaneously placing plug covers in attractive spots!)  I barely was able to watch soccer.

So Saturday night, I was exhausted.  I tell the Maine that I was beat, and cannot take another day of that!  Then, in her infinite wisdom, says "maybe we should just expand the Fortress!  Give her more space"

Eureka!  My mind went wild, thinking of plans and turrets and "windows" for the Pizz!  I could barely fall asleep, thinking of all the different possibilities!

Then this morning arrived.  The Maine and I got up and "blew up" the old plans of the Fortress.  We expanded!  I found a suitable piece of cardboard to make a "window".  Then we brought in the Pizz.  She loooooved it!

It was awesome!  She crawled over to every designated "room" in her new Fortress.  She stayed in it almost the whole day (except for naps in her crib, and the obligatory run to the kitchen for Daddy food!)

When Maine came home, she found the Pizz happy and content!

If only the rest of parenting would be this easy!!!
