Bounce
Posted by Liza under Personal, The Real Live Boy
Noah loves to jump and bounce.
His favorite place to bounce is in his crib, facing a corner, one hand holding each rail. Then he jumps and bounces with glee.
Yesterday, he wanted Mommy to bounce, too. Both mommies!
We gamely began to gently bounce up on our toes, but this was NOT what Noah had in mind. He was looking for full blown jumping mommies.
Each in our own way, we crossed our arms to keep uncomfortable bouncing to a minimum, and commenced to toddlerian enthusiastic bounces.
Until Noah paused.
And lay his hand over his chest.
While still jumping, only one-hand balancing the action, Noah looked quizzically up at us, like, “So this makes it even more fun? Great!”
We died laughing.

Of course, when he finally sheds diapers, he may find some disadvantages to free flow unerstricted bouncing–it’s a guy thing! Or so I’m told. Grandpa may be able to help here.
Love,
Grandma
