We still have our air mattresses in the living room blown up from when cousin A stayed with us last week. While I was printing some things on the computer, K says to me, "Look mom!" As I turn to look, I see him running across our tile floor and doing a flip onto the mattress. He did pretty good. At least I was impressed.
As he improved, he decided to up his skill level. Next thing I knew, he was flipping off the coffee table onto the mattress. At first, he used his hands to catch him as he flipped. I couldn't help but smile as I became his cheerleader, giving him confidence with each flip.
As he gained confidence, he decided to try it with no hands. I have to say... he did rather well. This alternative definitely beats paying $50 a month to let my 3 yo run around playing with other kids. Just put a air mattress on the floor and let them have fun.
