kate, please dont be. it wasnt something i was going to put on you sweets.. after all, you just came to get a trampoline, and it was between visits it all happened. please dont feel bad.... Just promise me your neice will enjoy and get so much out of the tramp! DD cried after you left, but i explained to her about your neice and she actually was so sweet and said "i want to go and help her learn to walk, and jump and play" made me cry more! I was so proud of her....
