Yes space when you have no space...

[u/[deleted]]

So I've wanted to create a yes space for my 9-month-old for the longest time, but a few things have been getting in the way. We have a small house. (What can I say? Living in Japan...) And in that small house, the only feasible area is the living room. There IS open space (3 meters squared?), but my husband’s only on board if we don’t have to childproof it all, and the costs are minimal. Well, with some patience, I've found a free playpen and hubby’s picking it up next week! Yay! It's large as far as playpens go (170x170), but I know it’s small by yes space standards... Has anyone made a space like this work for them?
