This was our first weekend in a while with no plans. No bike races, no weekend trips, no parties or potlucks. It was nice to relax and enjoy one last trip to the pool. It was nice to take naps and catch up on cleaning and play with baby-girls.
However, lazy weekends tend to get tied up with projects. This weekend, we decided to finally transform the formal dining room into a play space for Elayna. We sold the table, consolidated her bigger toys into one room, and bought a few extra pieces like a bookshelf and some storage. I LOVE it and Elayna does too. She definitely knows everything is hers and she’s spent a lot of time at her little table.
Of course, this does raise a lot of obvious questions. Like, how much space does one 2-year old need? And, what happens if more than 2 people ever come over to eat? And, is this really the first impression we want when people come in the door? I have no good answers but have decided not to care…. I love the new play area and am enjoying a toy-free TV room. I think the rest will just work itself out eventually.
