WEST JORDAN, Utah -- A toddler suffocated at a Utah daycare center on Thursday when an employee accidentally sat on top of him, according to police. The accident occurred after the boy crawled underneath a bean bag chair. The accident took place at West Jordan Child Center on Redwood Road. The victim, Leonardo Sanchez, would have turned 2 years old on September 17. "He was a cute bundle of joy, he brought a lot of love," said Danielle Sanchez, Leonardo's mother. Sanchez can't believe she will never tuck her son in with his favorite blanket ever again. She said her son was born to be the life of the party. "Just always wanting to have a good time, he would take one little thing and turn it into an adventure," Sanchez said. When she dropped Leonardo off at West Jordan Child Center Thursday morning, she could not have imagined it would be the last time she'd see him alive. "It's a tragedy, it's a tragedy what happened," Sanchez said. "It's rough because you don't know when the last time is you are going to hold your child."
According to West Jordan Police, Leonardo was underneath a bean bag chair when a daycare employee accidentally sat on him while reading a book to the rest of the children. Police say he suffocated. "It just baffles me, makes me wonder, she must not have felt him, she must not have heard him," Sanchez said. Police are investigating video footage from inside the daycare. At this time, the employee is not facing any charges. Sanchez believes this accident could have been prevented, and she is in the process of seeking legal representation. "In my mind: My child is in your care, he suffocated under a bean bag, how does a 2-year-old, not even 2 yet, how does he get stuck under a bean bag? Something happened, I don't know what," Sanchez said. The West Jordan Child Center released this statement: “We regret deeply the tragic death of a young toddler at our daycare facility. No words adequately describe the depth of the sorrow we feel. And, of course, we do not pretend to understand how devastating this is for the family.
We know the family well, we grieve with them, and we pray that God will provide them the comfort and peace they inevitably will need.” Tom Hudachko, with the Utah Office of Children's Licensing, said this daycare has been in violation twice in the past five years. One violation was for lack of supervision on their patio area, and the other time was for having a hole in the fence where a child could have escaped. They are currently investigating if any violations occurred during Leonardo's death. A GoFundMe Page has been set up for the Sanchez family. The family plans to hold Leonardo's funeral on his birthday. They are asking people to bring a birthday present, which will then be given to patients at a children's hospital. While the funeral will be open to members of the public, a specific time and location has not yet been determined.No, really, you do.

While a home can look great furnished entirely in Mission style or when filled with nothing but Mid-Century Modern items, ideal interior decoration usually involves blending a few different aspects of varied styles together. Great residential interior design starts with an assessment of a home's rooms and space within them as well as the space beyond the house. Interior design will look different in a beach house as it will in a mountain cabin, e.g. everything from construction material to paint color to flooring (or floor coverings) plays a role, and these more permanent aspects must be accounted for first. When it comes time to furnish a room, the furniture chosen must fit with the aesthetic of the people who live in the home and it also must fit with the layout and appearance of the room itself. Some spaces demand lighter, more delicate feeling furniture while others can handle heavier, bulkier items. While a degree of unity in furnishings is important, there is almost always room for a few unique items of more playful furniture in the house or apartment.
You don't have to tuck a leopard print couch into a room filled with Stickley furniture, but you could. And if you're looking for an affordable piece of furniture to bring a bit of lighthearted spark to your living space -- and also to provide another place to have a seat -- don't overlook the beanbag chair. This unusual but classic type of furniture was first introduced in 1968 by a trio of Italian designers. Most bean bag chairs are made with microfiber fabric exteriors and are filled with polystyrene beads. They are considered anatomic and amorphous, assuming the shape of the person or people using them rather than maintaining a set shape at all times. For this reason a bean bag chair can look a bit odd, but it can certainly be comfortable. A bean bag chair is an ideal piece of furniture for kids, teens, and even for college students. This is true first and foremost because most bean bag chairs are very affordable. If damaged beyond repair, dirtied beyond where cleaning can restore them, or simply worn out through heavy use, it's no great matter to simply replace a bean bag chair.
Bean bag chairs also make great furniture options for kids because they are lightweight and easy to move around. A child can easily maneuver his or her own bean bag chair around the room or even carry it around the house if it's their chosen place to read, watch TV, or study. There are bean bag chairs that are small enough to accommodate a toddler or younger elementary aged child, but in truth almost any bean bag chair makes a great choice for a kid. There is a playfulness inherent in bean bag chairs that kids love, and providing a child his or her own dedicated piece of furniture can make them feel respected and cared for. Just make sure to look at options with vinyl covers or consider coating a bean bag chair that has a microfiber or cloth fabric cover with a stain resistant material. The bean bag chair may be a mainstay of the child's bedroom or the dorm room, but there are plenty of options out there that are more than suitable for adult use. Some bean bag chairs even retain much of their shape during use, which provides the back support many adults need.
