[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't be afraid of using a playpen. My 4 yr old wanted to get in, occasionally, to get away from baby sister. The four year old *wanted* to play without getting bothered. Wanted to play with some toys alone, or they weren't age appropriate yet for the baby. And the reverse. Sometimes you just need to put the baby somewhere safe. Safe while you attend to the 4 yr old. Bet I'll get flamed for mentioning a play pen, but mentioning anyway.[/quote] I used a pop n play for this. Faster to set up than a pack n play, and it just lived in the corner of our living room. Occasionally I put the youngest in it, but mostly the older 2 went in to get a break from each other or their brother. Now he’s two and can just climb right over the side, so that no longer works but it was great for a year or so. They’d color or do legos or play play dough in there for ages. I miss the peace.[/quote]
