Me Jump Mommy! Me Jump

If you know Audrey at all, you know she LOVES to jump. In fact sometimes she jumps more than she walks. She jumps over blocks, she jumps off the stairs, she jumps on her balance beam, she jumps off her step stool in the bathroom, (most often when other people are in there minding their business!) and she'll often jump from point A to point B. The girl loves to jump. We hear, "me jump!" all the time, which means she's getting ready or just did jump over or off something. Just today while at a friends house, I caught her up on the bathtub, ready to jump off onto the floor. (the girls were playing in the empty/dry bathtub). She'll jump anywhere you let her, and often the places she's not supposed to (her bed, the couch, the bassinet..) Our neighbors just put up their trampoline for the season and luckily they don't care if we use it--and of course by we, I mean Audrey. Audrey calls it "t- jump." Her love affair with jumping started last summer and really took off when we enrolled her in gymnastics at the Jump Spot. She always wants to "jump hello" at Kindermusik. She's a good jumper. She should be, she practices all the time! This week at home we worked on jumping over Clippos on the balance beam--and landing ON the beam, instead of straddling it. Then, for fun I had her jump off the end and jump over the Clippo box. Spotting her the whole time, I kept moving the box further and further away from the end of the beam and she kept clearing it! Perhaps a long jumper in track and field???
