1...2...3... Jump!

This week I finally bought Rachel a doorway jumper. I've been wanting to get one for months now and couldn't find a place that had it instock. I realize that had I just ordered one when I first started looking I would have had it weeks ago. But since I like instant gratification I didn't buy it on line. I actually bought one 2 weeks ago and got it home to find out it was missing a vital piece-- the strap that attached the seat to the jumper! So that got returned and of course they didn't have another one.

Now that problem one of buying it was solved I now put it together and went to hang it and encountered problem two... it doesn't fit our door jams. After trying all of them I found 2 that it would work on. My closet or the laundry room (attached to the kitchen). Both of these doors have racks on them (shoes and dry goods). We decided the best one would be the laundry room so here she is hanging out in the laundry room.


It was soo cute to watch her figure out that she could jump but once she did she hardly stopped until she got dizzy from going round in circles. The toy on the front of it sings and says "1 2 3 jump!" and on cue Rachel will start jumping.

Fun!! I think I'm completely ignorant when it comes to the jumpers...we never got one for our lil ones, so I want to know how it hooks to the door? But it does look fun!! :)

how fun! I wanted one for Gabrielle and never bought one, so I am going to have to buy one for Tabitha. Where did you end up buying it?

I actually ended up buying this jumper from a place called The Children's Orchard which is a resale shop specifically for kids merchandise.
