When All Else Fails, Jump

Ian's 4 1/2 days without medication has finally ended. He is so glad to feel a little more in control of his body. He seems more relaxed and is focusing on his favorite thing in the world....the computer. Just like Mom. And Dad. And Grandpa.

Each day of the long weekend, his hyperactivity got a little more severe. Thank goodness for the "Jumpmaster 6000" - that's what the kids call it.
They literally bounced their way through an entire weekend. Ian needed the sensory stimulation, and Ainsley needed to be silly with her brother. They both needed to release energy. Since Ian spent almost the entire time in nothing but his underwear, it was a blessing that they had something to do inside.

I highly recommend this contraption for anyone whose kids have ADHD or sensory integration dysfunction. Ours is 8' by 8' and fits nicely in our living room. It would probably do well in the garage too, but not when it is 104 degrees outside. It will hold up to 250 pounds. The manufacturer recommends a limit of 2 children on it at a time. There is a basket ball hoop inside as well.
