How’s Rosie’s first Christmas going? —HW
Great. Adorable. Although we’ve a bit of an “IQ war” going on, and I’m frankly not sure which of them’s going to win. —JW
Don’t tell him I said that. ;) —JW
Oh, this I’ve gotta hear! —HW
Remember how Sherlock’s been trying to give Rosie a “normal” Christmas? Well, of course that includes a tree. He got a pre-lit artificial one “to reduce fire and strangulation hazards,” then anchored it to the wall to prevent tipping. —JW
Thoughtful! —HW
Until she started pulling ornaments off to throw or chew on them. —JW
Maybe only put them on the top half? —HW
Did that. It made the tree look like an old dial-up internet image only halfway loaded, but it helped. —JW
Until…? —HW
Until she tried to crawl up it. —JW
I’ve heard some people put the tree inside the playpen to keep it out of reach. —HW
Tried that. She pushed her little stool over to the playpen and crawled in. —JW
Bet Sherlock’s regretting his “early problem-solving training” right about now. —HW
We both are! He’s decided the only thing even Rosie can’t outsmart is gravity, so he’s currently trying to hang the tree from the ceiling… —JW
Brilliant — the man who outwits criminal masterminds meets his match in a 10-month-old baby! —HW
