1) becoming really active and restless and cannot stay in one place
2) accumulating more and more toys
3) growing taller now and can reach for more things on the drawer or bookshelf (to pull into the floor)
Yes, that is what's in store when you have a year-old baby. While I am happy about all these changes (she is also becoming more independent... can't wait for her to wipe her own ass hehe), I am not happy about the mess she is making! Our apartment is looking like one playground/nursery with her toys all over the place. And since we have no nanny at the moment, that means mom and dad are picking up after her.
It's time to look for the best storage for her toys and see what I can buy (that's the best part about it, going shopping AGAIN).
Toy Box/Toy Chest. I love toy chests! I always wanted one when I was a kid, I wanted to store my lil treasures in there and I thought it would be nice to keep it until I'm old enough to be someone's grandma. When tired of fixing baby's room, you can also sit down on the cushion of this lil princess toy box for some R & R. If you have a baby boy, why not get this circus one and when he is naughty, you can put them in there with a stuffed tiger?
Travel Box/Case. I like the idea of this box, it's foldable and you can put it aside if not needed. Also, it's multi-purpose and can be used for different things like files, laundry, porn films (oops), etc. This is also good for traveling and can be placed in your trunk. The suitcase idea is a bit cute, perfect when you feel like baby needs a day with grandma.
Toy hammock. Now, that is a cute idea for all of baby's stuffed dolls. I am lucky I have a bunk bed where I can put all of the dolls on top like they are watching over baby while she is asleep. Make sure stuffed toys should in the crib with her for safety reasons. I wonder if I can put my baby to sleep in this hammock as well. Guess not!
Bongo buckets. They look like trash cans but it makes cleaning up fun. Just throw the toys in the bin and whoever gets the most points wins a prize (like not having to wash the dishes, or better yet a new diaper bag). Choose the colors that match baby's room. Get one for your room as well if you don't have a hamper.
Toy Chain. Now, I am not so keen on this idea. Sure, it makes all the stuffed animals look cute by hanging in the room but I'm just afraid baby will either wrap it around her neck or try hanging on it too. We don't want baby to have any ideas about suicide just yet.
