Jumpolene

It's been such a cold winter. I'm using that as my excuse. We've been stuck inside and my toddler needs to get all her energy out. To that end I bought something called a Jumpolene.

In my defense I didn't realize it was going to be the monstrosity that it was. It was a total beast to set up.  Before I set it up I asked mom if it was going to be okay. It will be big, I said. If you don't want it, I understand. We can take it back or wait until it's warm enough. But mom, being the very supportive grandma she is, said it was okay. Little did she know....

We had to use an air compressor to set it up. It took a long time. A very long time. Rebekah was not a happy camper when we were finished. At one point mom was holding the air hose, I was pinching the thingy to let the air come in better all while holding a crying Reka. Totally not worth it - at that moment. 

When we finally finished she didn't want anything to do with it. That soon changed.  

She loves to jump and bounce in there.


Falling on her back is one of her favorite jumping moves

Sounds traumatic but it looks pretty fun!
