I Jump!

K-Man is a jumper: He jumps over stairs, he jumps over my legs if I am on the floor, Jacob the other day caught him trying to jump off the arm of the couch, though luckily he got to him in time. If there is even the slightest dip or step I just stop because I know what is coming. First the windup: he bends over so far that he almost topples onto his head, all the while pushing his arms back behind him as far as they possibly can go. Next, the butt wiggle. I think that is pretty self explanatory. Then the jump. He will launch himself as far as he can (sometimes it's pretty impressive) and land into this strange sort of roll. Then he pops up, yells "I Jump!" and then says "Taaa Daaaaaa" while he waves his arms around expansively for applause. Which I give at once because little boys only find such joy in jumping for a short while and I want it to last as long as possible.
