5 Simple Baby Play Ideas

5 Simple Baby Play Ideas | Mama Papa Bubba

With our sweet boy now well out of the sleepy newborn stage, we’ve been having a total blast playing together while his big sister is at school in the mornings.  Our little play sessions are more me sitting back and watching him play than anything, but I absolutely love it.  It’s such a special thing to watch your little one become interactive, playful, and full of personality, isn’t it?  I just adore it and sort of wish that I could freeze time to enjoy this stage a little longer, though I know I’ll think the next stage is just as much fun, or more likely, even better.

Our Playroom and Creative Space

Playroom Creative Space | Mama Papa Bubba

After five {quite painful} days of looking for a new place to call home here in Vancouver, Brad and I {not surprisingly} ended up having different favourites.  My choice, a 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom / 2 level townhouse, was small, but in a really lovely vibrant community filled with young families and coffee shops, restaurants, and other amenities that were all very walkable.  His choice {and the one we ended up choosing}, was a big, old, quirky free-standing  3 bedroom + office / 1 bathroom home on the outskirts of the city in a less walkable neighbourhood…  So what sold me on the house that in my mind meant more cleaning, more time in the car, and needing more stuff to fill it?  Without a doubt, it was the spacious, beautifully-lit sunroom that I knew would make a perfect playroom and creative space for Miss G.  And while it’s still a work in progress as we empty out our last few boxes and re-purchase a few of her items that weren’t worth shipping, it’s already become a favourite spot in the house.

A Birthday Celebration at Play

Though we had an early doctor-themed birthday party with our families back in Canada a couple of weeks ago, I thought it would be nice to get a few of our Kuwait friends together for a real birthday celebration after a long summer apart.  Since we’d already done the big party thing, I knew I wanted to keep this one small, super low-key, and easy to put together, which preferably meant not hosting it in our apartment {oh the disaster that can be created by a clan of little ones in a short amount of time!}  While I did consider hosting it on the beach at the Hilton, it’s simply too hot to do that right now – even early in the morning.  So when the opportunity to have it at Play {a fun indoor play space in the city} came up, we jumped on it!  We love Play and visit regularly, so we already knew that we could expect a fun {and clean!} play space that all of our guests {aged 18 months to 6 years} would enjoy.
