It's a room off the kitchen which allows her full view of the yard and line of sight through the kitchen into the living room. it works very well for us when the young rowdy ones are being, well, rowdy!acd6packhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05377057535245112797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7469835689360801078.post-79092912437546239772013-03-23T00:23:41.398-04:002013-03-23T00:23:41.398-04:00Oh my gosh, I had no idea you had struggled with h...Oh my gosh, I had no idea you had struggled with her so much initially.
