Joy in Jumping

Today we visited our local Cartwheels and Coffee, a coffee shop that has an indoor play area complete with slide, dress up clothes, balls, and tumbling things. In one end of the play area is a big tube that is perfect for jumping on. My toddler and her little buddy took turns holding an adults hands and just jumping for joy, literally, over and over for the good part of an hour. As she is sleeping soundly after our jumping excursion, I love that she finds such joy in life she just needs to jump it out. So here is to jumping. An expression that adults have all but forgotten, but can embrace at any moment. Seriously. Get up from your chair and jump around for just a minute. Yeah... it is fun isn't it?
