I didn't think I would be getting a "box" for you. That's the Dutch word for playpen. It's not even really a playpen, but a sort of large cot that you put in the main living space to put a not-too-mobile baby when you have to do things like answer the door, go to the loo or pop upstairs for a moment.
When my friend's little boy started walking at 11 months, she suddenly didn't need this "box" and we inherited it.
It's beautiful - more than second hand ... perhaps been used for many generations. I made a cover for the bottom mattress, Soul Papa's sister gave us a "box kleed" or playplen blanket, and I also received one from a friend through my network. The crazy colours go nicely in our loungeroom. I'm glad we have it. It makes your coming seem all the more real.
love your Soul Mama
