Play area for baby ... Surviving living in a small space

Finding a place for my baby to play is tough. Especially since our dogs or cats are always eager to join the fun. So, over the weekend my husband removed all the plants in our patio and I planned the play area.

1) remove plants
2) pickup all debris and wash floor
3) remove any misc. items
4) place flooring ($48 @ home depot)
5) canopy ($30 @ lowes)
6) enjoy the area

So, it has been a great project ! My baby has his own area. As you can tell in the picture my dog is underneath the bench. He is always by my side since he is the most obedient dog we have.
