When my children were born they both spent the first coupleof weeks living in a laundry basket. I put a pillow in the bottom of a laundrybasket and covered it with a baby blanket. I used the laundry basket to carrymy children all over the house. They slept in their laundry basket cribs forthe first couple weeks of their lives and loved it!
We did not have a mosses basket or a portable basinet that Icould cart around the house all day long. Since we had a perfectly good cribas well as a pack-n-play I simply could not justify purchasing another contraption thatwould only be used for a month or two. We made do with what we had.
I was {and I stillam} a very active mother and sitting in one place too long makes me itch. Mychildren and I do not stay in one room of the house for very long. When theboys were babies and needed to be carried from place to place while napping alaundry basket was the quickest, easiest, and least expensive mode oftransportation. Being shuffled around in the basket meant that sleep was notdisturbed and I had my hands free to get things done around the house. It was awin-win situation.
Now that the boys are bigger {3 years-old and 1 year-old}they still cannot seem to get enough of our laundry baskets. There must besomething really cool about climbing inside a laundry basket that I am just toobig to fathom. I have no idea why laundry baskets fascinate my children, butthey do. Both of the boys cannot seem to help themselves. If there is a basketto climb in, they are in it!
Every laundry day turns into a laundry basket free for allin my home and the children are the ringleaders of our little three ringcircus. If I have folded the laundry and placed it in the baskets they do notremain nice and neat for long. Laundry baskets get turned into robots,spaceships, hiding spots, and go carts in my home. Thank goodness I own somesturdy laundry baskets!
I am always interested and amused by my children’simaginations. They find new and exciting ways to entertain themselves everyday. I am just lucky enough to be able to bear witness… sometimes I even get toplay along.
