Thanks for the ideas. DD did have a tent but I took it out today as she had every toy she owns in it and crawling babe was breaking in constantly !!! Playpen is not a bad idea have one, might give it a try. We have been taking one and bringing another... BUT DD is doing it constantly even with crawling babes own toys she just grabs it away before he even has a chance to play with it... arhhhh. When does school start?

Give 4yo activity to do at dining table (colouring, drawing, painting, play dough, etc) whilst you play with Crawler. Once Crawler naps do something on the carpet with 4yo. Share the love! OR, try games.... Ask 4yo to see how many blocks can be built before Crawler knocks it over. Helps with counting too :) Pool time? TV? Even changing to a different room can help, good luck!

Buy a playpen and put the 4 year old in it :) Tell them it their "special cave" or some other psycho-babble .... ;)

tell the 4 year old that if s/he wants the toy bubs is playing with, then s/he needs to bring one to swap. Bubs won't mind and eldest is happy. Win win!
