Softplay

A friend has booked us in for a softplay place tomorrow and we've not been to one before. Should we follow her around in the softplay? She's just turned 2 and is typically used to big open spaces and is very independent, although if there are other kids around she likes to hold my hand until she's settled and playing.

Baby not pooping
