My wife is always bringing home stuff from garage sales that we don’t need, so I was very happy to see her walk in with a trampoline. She put it down in our already crowded living room and all the kids ran to see what it is.
The babies thought it was a cool place to sit and when you get bored, fun to push each other off of. My oldest daughter knew what to do with it and began jumping as soon as she could get the babies off from it. She spent the next 45 minutes laughing and falling and then crying. She still likes it and uses it quite frequently.
It turns out that trampolines are great therapy for cerebral palsy and help with muscle development and balance. The time my daughter spends on this is actually really good for her and actually something that might get used. I decided that this was a good purchase and worth the money. I might give my wife a little slack the next time she comes home with someone else’s reject decorations to plaster all over our house.
