Nora Evelyn McGowan

Since she learned to crawl it’s seemed like Nora and Roomba (our floor-cleaning robot) follow basically the same room-exploration algorithm:

1. go straight unless you crash into something, then turn and keep going
2. find and roll around in ALL the dirt
3. get caught in as many wires as possible
4. find all the things that might possibly hurt you and embrace them with gusto
5. keep going until you’re exhausted and then cry until someone comes and feeds you

Those of you with toddlers (or proto-toddlers) and robotic vacuums know what I’m talking about here. Of course, Roomba can’t do this!

p.s. look at that little belly!
