the #1 tip?

i was just reading this blog post from ohdeedoh about the #1 tip for planning a nursery. it is....creating floorspace. a must have in their opinion for the baby to play. so far, ben has spent little time in his room. i don't have a rug in there yet so it's a bit of a cold floor. (and the above picture makes it look like the closet is full of pampers but it's not...just not well organized at the moment.) however, in the last week or so, ben and i have done some hanging out in his room. he likes to open drawers and fling things out of them. it's just important that i am nearby to hold the drawer open as he leans on it as we've had a couple finger crunches lately. i put all his stuffed animals on the bottom shelf of his bookshelf and he also like to fling each one of those onto the floor. and as you can see, he also tips over the laundry basket and pulls all of those clothes out. while this can get a little cluttered, it's been fun having another room to spend some time in. now i just got to get something on the walls and a rug on the floor to make it a little cozier.
