Play Time

As you all know Reed outgrew his pack-n-play at an early age so we had gotten him a play yard so I was still able to do stuff around the house without having to worry about him getting into stuff and getting hurt. Well at the end of last week I decided that it was time to take the play yard down. I soon realized that everything that was still left on the tables now had to come off and that I could not leave him in the living room by himself for to long even though there is a gate on both entrances to the living room. So I have had to come up with some pretty creative ways to entertain him when we are at home. Last week my mom and I went to Toys R Us looking for a ball pit. The only ones we could find were ones that blowup. So I went ahead and purchased the balls that go in them hoping that I could find something safe to put them in. Well yesterday I came up with the bright idea to make a ball pit out of our coffee table (if you didn't know our table is kind of like a storage chest only bigger). I layed an old comforter in the inside to make it soft and then just dumped the balls in. He loves it!!! He spent about an hour total in it yesterday. And the best thing is is that it doesn't take up any room because it was already there and when he is done I just close the lid.
