It turns out I have a lot more experience in fort-building than Duffy (chalk it up to my years spent as a babysitter combined with my childhood fascination with forts - they were one of my favorite things to build/play in.) So I did most of the building.
Key features:
- Big enough to fit a mattress (our spare twin)
- Angled for optimal TV viewing (we watched Eagle Eye)
- Simple and reliable structure
- Tall enough to sit up in (pretty much)
(This picture was taken from the TV stand. Thank you auto-timer!)We watched the movie, and yes, definitely slept the whole night on the tiny twin mattress. You can't really tell in the pictures, but the fort was just barely wide enough to fit the mattress. Somehow, though, Harper managed to squeeze in the fort along the side between the chairs and the mattress and hung out with us. He's so cool.
