Storing loose/freeform Legos isn't really a problem for me. My problem is that my son prefers those insidious Lego sets that only build one thing. We have an entire fleet of Star Wars ships and vehicles that will fall apart if you look at them sideways, and no ideal way of storing those. I might need to build a hangar.

We love Spot It, which I bought to take on a plane ride a few years ago. There are a few different ways to play, and we never get bored with it. And it comes in a little tin that takes up no space at all! Kid-Friendly Games Suited for Small Spaces |

I'd say leave it, too. The cushions look a little saggy, and they might need to be replaced as well, and I have a feeling that when you get it to a point where you are happy with it, you may as well have bought a new sofa. Take or Leave This Craigslist Find? Good Questions |

OK, I love, love, love Andrew Henry's Meadow, and I recently introduced my five-year-old son to it (he gasped when we got to the page with Andrew Henry's first big contraption; he's hooked). But I had *completely* forgotten about We Were Tired of Living in a House until I clicked through Bean's link. I loved that book! My Favorite Children's Books Maxwell's Finds |

Yes. You should have a comfy chair, ideally one that you can fall asleep in and not wake up with a stiff neck. My son is 5 and we still constantly use the chair we bought for his nursery for reading and snuggling. We bought an upholstered glider armchair from a company called Best (based in Indiana, I think) and it's been worth every penny. Is a Glider or Rocker a Nursery Necessity? Nesting a Nursery |

Sorting pieces by color is incredibly time-consuming. I'm still looking for the holy grail of Lego storage, and I don't think this is it. LEGO Storage: IKEA Trofast to the RescueI Heart Organizing |

I love "The Little Brute Family," and made it a point to read it to my son last night after reading Hoban's obit in the NY Times. Indeed, thank you, Russell Hoban. Thank You Russell Hoban (1925-2011) |

I've been trying to sell my son's (almost new) skates on Craigslist to no avail. At least I know what to do with them now if I'm indeed stuck with them. Creative Reuse: Ice Skate Holiday Decoration Plow & Hearth |

I love the rectangular Krush Can for laundry. When my son was a baby, we were living in a tri-level townhouse and I had to haul a lot of laundry up and down a lot of stairs, so this lightweight container was a godsend. I also like that I can cram it into tight closet spaces. Which Laundry Collection Method Works Best For You? |

Agree with the people who suggest solid or striped (i.e., basic) crib sheets. You're going to be changing and laundering those sheets a *lot*. Get a few sturdy crib sheets (at least 3 or 4) (and waterproof mattress pads), because they're always going to be in the laundry. Lands' End made great crib sheets when I was in the market for them.
