Today we tried something new. We've had this gate since Christmas but haven't used it all. We thought we were going to need it to protect the Christmas tree, but Honeybadger didn't give a shiz. He didn't care a bit about a giant lit up furry tree materializing in his living room. How could we have ever worried about that Honeybadger?

So we have this unused giant thing. Grandma suggested we try it out as a playpen today. David needs to learn this play by himself (he is starting to get very needy with me), and I need to be able to do things while he is awake without looking over my shoulder ever ten seconds.

So we set it up. Baby Mama came home in the afternoon and was very dissatisfied at the sight of her baby in a "cage." David wasn't too happy either. He played for about 10 minutes then wanted his freedom back. Needless to say but the playpen will not be making a second appearance tomorrow.
