It may not be pretty, but it sure is frugal, fun and very useful! See it there behind our cowboy and that piece of furniture?
Yep, we keep an old toddler mattress behind our “music center” as a tool for Luke’s home therapy. The idea is that he can pull and push out the music center in order to retrieve and lay the mattress down (getting some great heavy work in the process). Then, he can jump-jump-jump away. It works like a charm!
