It\u2019s quite an overwhelming urge, to be honest. Of course, Liara is only 8 months old at the time of writing this she\u2019s unable to sit up independently yet.

It\u2019s not a excessively big space but it\u2019s just ideal. We also explored the sensory gardens with Mr Tumble which needs a touch of TLC in my opinion. But again Liara enjoyed it but wasn\u2019t able to make full use of it as it\u2019s of course intended for for those older and able to walk &amp; explore.
