Karis in Baby Jail
When we moved in to the house, we planned on using the "Formal Dining room" as a playroom for Karis. Somehow it shifted to the breakfast nook. Probably because that way I can watch her closer while I'm cooking.
So we put the baby gate across the entry to the breakfast area. And every morning I bring karis down and she plays while I make breakfast. After breakfast we play for a while then it's nap time. After her wakes up, it's back down to the kitchen and her play area while I prepare lunch. She plays for a few hours and then it's nap time again.
We have a bin with her toys in it and she pulls them all out and plays. We also have a Little Tikes activity garden she likes to play with. She loves to throw things over the baby gate. We really need to find a new way to secure the baby gate as it is secured on one end with two paint cans with a chair in front of them to keep her from moving them. And on the other end it is secured by a stack of unpacked boxes. She has learned that if she pushes and pulls on it long enough, it will often come apart or dislodged at one end. We really need to get a different gate altogether.
We affectionately call it "Baby jail"...
