Storage




This area is not very developed but this is what I have so far. I love using wipe holders for things. I don't know why they come in every big box of diapers we get--but they are useful! I keep a lot of the games and puzzles up and blocks and other toys that would be too much if they were taken out all the time. Super Frog and I often play a game together for his "Special Nap Time." He stays up 30min after Little Bird goes to bed. He then goes into his room and plays quietly and looks at books for 60min (a timer is set on his noise machine. It just goes off after 60min--it's great! He'll sleep about twice a week.
The white 3 drawers are for storage. The purple 3 drawers are for me to experiment with work boxes. I'm very intrigued by the idea and think it could work well for us. I thought I'd give it a try and put everything in the drawer we'd need for that day. I haven't totally gotten into using them yet. Although I did put some games and special items in the B drawer to use during nap time with Super Frog. And I filled the A drawer with all the T items for the week to put in our blue holder.
Do you see the two purple trays stuffed in there? I tried the Tot Tray idea once. It worked pretty well. Super Frog loved his cutting and hole punching tray. Little Bird was excited about hers for about two min. and then moved on.
