A gym bus comes to Amelia’s daycare on Fridays. It is outfitted with all sorts of things to climb on, over, up, jump, tumble, etc. I wonder if she got this brave on gym bus? Because all of the sudden she started jumping off the bed, and it is almost as tall as herself!

1…2…

…3!!!

You won’t catch me jumping off a 5′ 5″ platform anytime soon, unless there is water underneath me.  I put the pillow there, she didn’t, and she jumped several times before the pillow was there.
(If you’re keen, you’ll notice I picked up her bathing suit and water shoes for the first picture, which was actually taken second. Anyway, makes the sequence better to see the take off.)

She also learned to go down the stairs by putting only one foot on each step, and now has progressed to trying to skip steps.  She’s not very good at that-her legs are allllmost as long as the three step distance- but it is a lot of fun. 

Daphne’s been a bit under the weather this week, we’re not really sure of the cause.  She’s not goopy or anything.  But, she seems to be feeling mostly better.  And luckily she’s a fairly easy sick kid. 

We’re home for five days while the girls’ school gets ready for the new year.  We will surely have lots of pictures and stories for you!
