Multiple Uses for a Great Idea

Being a new mom, again, just this July... and having a 3 and 6 year old it is hard to believe that we will be re-baby proofing in just a few short months. Before you know it, our littlest will be crawling around getting into his big sis and bro's things. I feel like we just had gotten beyond many of the safety issues with our 3 ½ year old. It seems like I am not alone in this problem. I recently got an idea from a mom in this situation. She gates off a section of her family room- kind of like a large playpen area that is a “Safe Zone” for her littlest- what a great idea. Since then, I found out that my neighbor does the same sort of thing while camping. She packs her gates and makes a big circle and lays blankets down for her 9 month old to play on. He loves it and it gives her piece of mind knowing her baby is protected.
