Pack'N'Play

     Yesterday we received from Babies "R" Us our Pack'N'Play, which we decided on for a base of operations for the baby in our upstairs master bedroom. When I got home from work I figured I would put it together and we could see if in deed it would work for what we were expecting for it to. Lets just say some assembly was required shall we...well, the main portion the play yard was easy enough unfold it and there you go, now the extras like the bassinet and the changing station well they weren't so easy. The bassinet after decoding the instruction pictures did go together relatively peacefully, but, that changing station was another thing. Having to put bent poles through a pulled tight straightaway and then to find you slid them in backwards is not a fun thing to have to go through, in the end though it did get put together. I'm sure before Michael takes up residency in it, I wouldn't be surprised to see a cat (Roxy) taking up temporary lodgings in it. We "played" out pretending he was in the crib and seeing how easy it would be to move him from the bassinet area to the changing table and vice-versa and checking the integrity of the unit for anything that might be unsafe and I think we are confident this will be his first main sleeping quarters. It's hard to see from the photos that will be following this text, but, there are Mickey danglers about the bassinet and Mickey's on the padding. Take a good look cause i'm sure in a month from now it's not gonna look as clean and pretty or as empty :).
