Kids are not known for sitting still, especially boys, right? For this reason, we have had a trampoline IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LIVING ROOM for a year or more.
Sadly, a few months ago the trampoline broke. Aw, don't cry, it's fixed now, but we, I mean Vinny, was without it for about two weeks. Over that same period of time, Vinny began to develop an assortment of nervous ticks, of the fidgety variety. (I on the other hand, got constipated)
His fidgeting grew so extreme I began googling Turrets, while simultaneously ordering a laxative online, for myself. Yes. I. Did.
But after consulting a child expert, who prescribed, "more physical activity" we found relief. Relief from the trampoline coming home from the hospital (I'm literally relieved), And relief from exercising our son daily,on the trampoline and out in the wild.
He loves it. Look at his face, he looks so happy.
What more could a parent ask for? Is there anything better or quieter than a worn out child?
And there's nothing like bouncing on a trampoline to get, ehem, things moving.
