Baby Jumper Seat

My good friend Nina is off every Friday looking after her daughter. They live a short walk away and we plan to meet up every Friday afternoon. During the hand over period we went to the Kinder Cafe, Das Spielzimmer. They're a new concept for me. Essentially they're just cafes with space for children to run riot. It's nice because you don't need to worry about your kid screaming, or if them trying to break something or as Nina's did... if they shit in the ball pool. 

Das Spielzimmer is where we'll normally meet, but today I headed to her apartment because there was something I wanted to borrow, a baby jumper seat. The idea is they're strapped into a little bouncy harness, giving them a bit more freedom to move and jump. He only had a quick try today but judging by the immediate giggles I think he likes it. More tomorrow. 

Very pleased it's nearly the weekend. Looking forward to two days with the old team back together.
