New Play Area






















With Quinn's arrival, we had to pull a bunch of stuff out of storage and our living room was quickly taken over by toys and such (not to mention all the toys acquired from birthdays, Christmas, and Santa.) So we decided to spruce up a corner just for the kids to go crazy, and I think it turned out pretty cute! We upgraded the play kitchen to this fun "full-size" one from Ikea. Lillie has made countless batches of pancakes, birthday cakes, "oni-oni & cheese" and cookies - you'd think all we feed her is sweets and pasta! She definitely takes after both of us on that. I found a cute upholstered ottoman to store the toys that don't fit in the wood chest anymore, and Lillie loves to sit on when it's closed. That has led to using the couch as an obstacle course for climbing over. It's pretty cute to hear, "Ninnie did it," upon her successful landing on the cushions. My favorite part is the alphabet decal on the wall. I bought it when we first moved in with the intention of putting it in the office by my letterpress (appropriate, I thought), but it's so much better here. Since some of the letters are within other letters, Lillie has fun trying to find where they all are. For now, Lillie has full run of the corner, but soon enough, Quinn will be right there beside her, wanting everything his big sister has.
