I've received a few questions today about the legendary squishy couch I refer to from time to time. I thought I would explain.
For those of you out there wondering what I'm referring to when I say *squishy couch, this one's for you. *
The *Squishy couch *was born out of necessity. Originally, when Elliott was having a really hard time sleeping and we ended up down stairs in the middle of the night, I needed a way to make him feel safe. He would wake up with the sensation that he was falling and be terrified.
So one night I decided to try pushing the couches together. I explained to him that there was no way he could fall now.. It worked, thus the *squishy couch *was born.
Now it's a sought after event. The kids love the *squishy couch*. So on occasion, Elliott and I will camp out downstairs on the *squishy couch*.
This week, with everyone being gone and Emmett upset that he doesn't get to go anywhere and spend the night, I suggested *squishy couch *and he jumped up and down with excitement.
Problem solved.... :-)
Honestly though, it's not very comfortable with our crappy old couches. Having said that, the kids are happy and that makes it more than worth it.
Please take a second and bask in the awesomeness that is the *squishy couch*.. :-)
