Rug drama

Our house has mostly hardwood and tile flooring. In fact, the only room in the house that has carpet is the master bedroom! That was a big pro on my list, but it has created a bit of drama for little missy. Rugs weren't at the top of our list of things to buy, but the first time Millie fell down on the tile and bonked her head, we quickly changed our minds. So, the same day we moved in, we bought a rug for the family room. A high-pile, neutral-colored rug. Tyler and I both love it, but we didn't think to run it by Millie before purchasing! Shame on us. There goes our "Parents of the Year" award. She would not touch the rug!
Millie plays happily on a blanket
Millie realizes she is alone on the blanket
Millie tries to find a way off the blanket, without touching the rug of course
Millie realizes she is, in fact, on an island and cries for help. Saddest face ever!
Silver lining: It was a great way to keep her contained while we buzzed around her unpacking! Also, she got over her aversion in a couple of days. She's back to her normal, all-over-the-place self now!
