I see myself as being a little unconventional when it comes to some of my parenting choices. I let my kids ride scooters through the living room and down the hall. I also let them jump rope if it is raining outside. I like to let them be kids. A few years ago TJ got a futon bed which he was really happy with. When it came time for Kayla to get one she wanted one just like it because it the coolest thing ever. Fast forward a little and she hates it. Then one of the legs broke and she hates it even more. So since money is a little tight I decided to let her just use one of the air beds I had the closet. It is a queen size one hat raises pretty high off the floor. Guess what? She loves it. She sleeps in every night and even enjoys making it up. Who would have guessed it? She happy because she feels like it is a new bed, I am happy because I was able to use what I already had and did not have to spend any money!
Only problem now is there is a little hole in it and I need to find the patch kit. Other than that all is good. I am not sure how long this is going to last so I am keeping my eye out for sales and on Craigslist!
