The Playscape 5—Torrence, Myles and Ella, and Gage and Paul—will share their experiences as they learn and grow in the gallery...and at home! See Playscape through the eyes of Torrence (age 8 months) in this post from mom, Samantha. And continue to follow his journey online, on the blog, or by searching the #Playscape5 hashtag on Instagram, Twitter, and Vine!
There's a common refrain from new parents—the same old song, “It's hard to imagine our little one isn't so little anymore!” There’s a certain irony of this coming from parents of an 8 month old but forgive me. Torrence no longer wants to be held as much nor does he need help with everything. I felt like he was an old pro as we began playing in Babyscape. Immediately, he grabbed all the toys surrounding him and of jammed them straight into his mouth. Perhaps showing the other babies the ropes and how it's done in Babyscape.
After a while of playing with the toys and watching the others play we decided to check out the music room. In just a few short months, Torrence is now able to bang on the drums and shake the bells. His motor skills are so remarkably improved even from just a month ago, I look forward to the day when he can walk to each room and play with all the toys by himself.
Finally, I figured he would want to play in the water in the Creek, and as usual it did not disappoint. Torrence loved splashing in the water and watching the toys float down the creek. One of the best features of playing in the water is that the other big kids wear waterproof smocks!
I'm looking forward to Torrence being able to climb in the climber and truly express how he feels about Playscape and his surroundings— though his much taller father is perhaps not as enthused about the climbing part.
