(I asked this on the Feb board too)

Especially if you have 2u2 experience...

What do/did you do to keep your older LO from playing with the baby toys?  Anything? Or do you just let them?

I started just letting L play with the swing and bouncy seat as long as the baby isn't in them, because she's not above the weight limit and it didn't seem worth the fight.  I pulled out the activity mat for the first time today and A loved it.  But L was all over it.  She's obviously not old enough for me to trust her to just sit and play with the baby in there.  I tried distracting her by asking her to play with me with her toys, but she wouldn't have it.  She just kept throwing fits when I backed her up from the mat.  Then she threw a fit when I finally had enough and took the baby out and put it away.

Anyone else deal with something similar?  How did you handle it?

    When I first used the playmat O was very interested in it. She still is. I just let her be, the more of a focus I put on trying to keep her away from him and the playmat, the more she would mess with him. When I put him down she will go right over and tou
