Years ago, for approximately 18 months or
so, my two sons used my pelvic floor as their own personal trampoline.
Ironically, it was this enthusiastic pre-birth exercise that has left me unable
to use a trampoline right now with 100% confidence that I might not accidently wet myself....... just a bit.
Ah
motherhood, in all your mysterious glory.
Years later that I made a cheap
and shoddy investment in a real life trampoline. It took me several days to put
together and only months before is started to look a little shabby, with bits
falling off it and the like. Over about 18 months, it started to resemble
something you might find at a tip, by the side of a road or dismantled and
chucked into a skip, which is where ours ended up.
See those metal bars up there? They used to
be covered in soft foam that the boys thought might be fun to tear off and use
as lightsabers. Team the metal poles with the total absence of tension from
the “safety net” and BINGO!
You have yourself a family trip to
casualty. The perfect way to spend a Sunday Afternoon. Hematoma Heaven!
Smart folk we know also had trampolines,
but they had coughed up and bought the primo version. A Springfree Trampoline.
I am envious of families who have
Springfree Trampolines. They can relax as the kids tire themselves out jumping
around like crazy, knowing that they will not have to mop up bits of child. That is the thing I miss about not having a
trampoline now (not the casualty part). The getting
them so tired part. It is a well known fact in my own brain, that the more
you physically challenge a kid, the less objections you have when it comes to
getting them off to sleep.
And with a Springfree trampoline there is a
zip, so it is kind of like a legal cage, which of course I am fully supportive
of.
Because I am a lovely mum, I took my boys
out to the Springfree Experience Centre
so they could see what they were missing out on.
Did they like it? I’ll let you be the
judge.
