We’ve stumbled upon what might just be the most adorable twin video you’ll ever lay eyes on.
Picture this: two bouncing babies, Reese and Levi, jamming to the legendary Johnny Cash while strapped into their Jolly Jumpers.
You might be wondering, “What on Earth is a Jolly Jumper?”
Well, let me take you on a little trip down memory lane.
The Jolly Jumper was born in 1910, thanks to a busy mom named Susan Olivia Poole.
She was swamped and couldn’t give her baby the attention he needed right away.
So, she got creative and rigged up a makeshift swing using a cloth diaper, an ax handle, and a steel spring.
Voila! The first Jolly Jumper was born, and as they say, the rest is history.
Fast forward to 1948, and Olivia is at it again, this time crafting a Jolly Jumper for her grandkids.
By 1957, this ingenious invention was patented. Olivia’s inspiration?
Her upbringing at the White Earth Indian Reserve in Minnesota, where mothers used swing systems to keep their little ones entertained while they got on with their chores.
Now, let’s give a collective sigh of relief and say, “Thank goodness for Jolly Jumpers!”
Seriously, these things are lifesavers for parents drowning in the boundless energy of their little ones.
Decades later, parents worldwide are singing praises for Jolly Jumpers.
Why? Well, for starters, they offer babies a whole new perspective on the world.
No longer confined to the limited view from a sling or their parent’s arms, these tiny tots get their first taste of independence.
