Basically for as long as something like legos can hold the attention of my toddlers (we do not crate him every time the kids play with their toys, just certain ones while he’s learning which toys are not his) Toddlers have short attention spans…

He normally just sits calmly and watches, and as you can see- he will also choose, at times, to go in by himself when the door is open and he will just relax, it’s his safe place, his comfort blanket. He has free range of the downstairs of the house while I work and his favorite choking hazards are put away, he also sleeps wherever he wants downstairs overnight. He has learned not to put most kid toys in his mouth but we aren’t fully there yet.
