From the design lounge we go to the design experience zone. It is a children’s design museum/play area. I cost 4 dollars; August was free.
It is aimed at older kids, but August loved it. Mainly because he is so visually stimulated and also because there were enough toys and things for him to play with.
We then went down to the second and first floors, which have these design labs. Basically, they are a bunch of small shops that sell a lot of really cool stuff. I bought a Very Hungry Caterpillar puzzle and a magnetic board and animals set for him.
We also found a very cool kids play area we can come back to once he turns 12 months.
Finally, I change him in a huge changing room. It has these round little privacy booths for breastfeeding and they are surrounded by silky curtains. August loved the fabric and had to investigate after he was changed.
We headed back, arranging to meet Carly mid-walk on her way home. That worked out well, as we arrived off the bus at our meeting spot only a couple minutes before Carly walked by.
Back home, Carly gave him his first teething biscuit. That made him very happy.

He still got excited seeing it, even after we circled back to it eight times or so:
So many toys:
