What's Missing?

Can y'all tell what's missing in this picture? No, it's not missing carpet...they've always been wood.

No, it's not missing a toddler in a sled having a go at a thrill ride...but that wouldn't be too surprising.

What's missing is the child safety gate. Yup - another big step into the real world for our brave NorthernToddler. He hasn't known a world without a prison gate on the steps - we put it up the day after we moved into the house. That was three years ago. NorthernMommy and Daddy haven't known the house without a gate to retreat behind (what? You've never hidden from a toddler with an evil glint in his eye holding a wooden spoon? Never scooted to a sanctuary from the loudly protesting tyrant toddler in your house?)

It seems slightly odd that the gate is just...gone.
