FFF: Putting the Pack N Play to Good Use!

When we bought our pack n play (used at Rhea Lana's), I planned to use it for traveling, mainly.  And indeed, it has been a good investment for that purpose, but lately we've been using it a lot more than expected in our own house!

Right now, the pack n play lives in our guest bathroom.  Might sound like an odd spot {and yes, it does make for a tight squeeze} but it works out perfect for this season of life.  You see, it turns out that with a few toys in the pack n play, Enoch loves hanging out in it!  And, since getting a shower in is one of my biggest challenges in my morning, we've started putting Enoch in the pack n play while I shower during his first awake time.  It works out great because he has some independent play time and I'm not "wasting" his nap time by showering {I mean, nap time is pretty valuable time... right Moms??}.  :)

I also love having it in the bathroom because getting Enoch a bath is now SO much easier!  I used to struggle to get his tub in the big tub and full while holding him on my hip.. or my lap... and it was just never an easy task!  But now I just plop him in the pack n play and we both enjoy the pre-bath time prep.  

In fact, here's a video of him walking around in it {during pre-bath prep} and trying to make a few animal sounds.  Let me preface by saying that the rhinoceros "sniffs" {through his nose} and the puppy "pants" {with his tongue}.  The fish didn't quite make this one but it is basically making a fish face {puckering your lips} and smacking {like a loud kissing sound}.  I apologize about how loud my fish sound is in the video... be prepared!  ;)
