play time

Since Dorian is so fast and mobile now, we decided he needed a safe play space. At my parent's house it is hard to make the whole place baby safe so he can go anywhere. Instead, the room D and I stay in when we are there has officially been proofed. He can go anywhere, stand up and hold on to anything, all his toys are in there and he has enough space to really crawl. We just put up the gate to the hallway so he can see everyone still and let him go nuts. Someone is always in the room with him of course, but we can actually get some stuff done, like folding laundry, while he plays. His favorite is if I lay on the floor and he gets to use me as a jungle gym. That's what he was doing yesterday with this picture. He crawls away a bit and wants you to chase after him, then when you're tired and lay down for a sec he attacks! :) It's funny. His room in Reno is set up like that also so he can pretty much have free reign without us running after him and having to take things away or make sure he doesn't hurt himself all the time. He has loads of fun in both places and as always, laughs a lot.
