baby gym

We have the most talented friend in Indiana who designs and sells beautiful cuttingboards with a large variety of woods, both local and tropical. Alan has become somewhat of an uncle to us - we met him a few years back at an arts & crafts show and became enamored with his work. Since then, we have visited him at his home, met him at other shows, bought boards for ourselves, friends and relatives and I've photographed his work.

I asked him if he would design a baby play gym similar to the cariboo one I'd seen online. He put his own twist to it, making it collapsable since he knows we are short on space. We're getting a black, white & red fabric one from J's sister Holly that will be a great color stimulator (very important), but before I knew that was coming I had asked him to work on this. We can hang any toys we like on it, and pass it on to future generations. This is just a photo from his garage, we can't wait to see it in person and have Mango play with it!
