originally, this room was going to be love's bedroom and also the play room. all the toys are stored in this room and we don't really have room to store them elsewhere, so it just made sense to use this room as a playroom during the day. that didn't work so well. love needed her own space to keep things away from the hands of her little brother. we have recently added a baby gate to the doorway into the kitchen. that way, love can play alone in her room and also have her door open and feel like she is part of the family. this room has two doors, so she can easily go in and out of the other door if she wants to.
everyone is happier with this arrangement. i brought one bin of toys into the living room for jobot and i rotate the toys a bit each day. i thought he would put up more of a fuss about not being able to go in her room, but he hasn't seemed to mind at all.
pros:
- this room is right off of the kitchen (can also be a con).
- has two doors.
cons:
- only one window, room usually feels quite dark.
- the walls have a lot of scratches/marks/holes, etc...
- one of the doors is very difficult to close.
and yes, love still sleeps in a crib. she is fine with the crib right now and so are we. when the time comes, it is going to be a difficult transition for all of us to a "big girl bed". maybe she will just stay in a crib until she moves out? ha.
