Our New Housekeeper

Better late than never! I decided I wanted a robot vacuum of some kind for Mother’s Day, so I did some research, and Brady did some research, and we landed on an Ecovacs Deebot 600.

She is already a much-loved member of our family. The kids love her. We spent a full half hour this morning watching her drive around our house. 

Ok, Waverly doesn’t love her. She spent that half hour in someone’s arms or up on a bed. Dekker shrieking “run for your life” didn’t help. Meanwhile, Rowan watched her go into his bedroom, and he ran to turn the light on for her.

It was hard to tell if she was doing much of anything, but it became very clear at the end that she had done a good job after all.

We’ve lovingly named her Meryl Sweep. She hangs out under the coffee bar, and will only be surfacing after bedtime and sometimes during naps. 

Welcome to the family, Meryl.
