Jumping

I receive weekly emails from BabyCenter about what my child 'should' be doing. (Meaning Matthias). This past week I received the following email for my 22 month-old: Week 1.

"Your toddler can probably hop off the bottom step of a staircase by throwing one foot forward and letting the other follow. But true jumping, where both feet leave the ground at the same time and then land squarely, is a skill that requires excellent balance and may take a few more months to master. You can help her practice two-footed jumping by putting some pillows on the floor and letting her leap onto them from something low, like a child-size footstool."

Taylor and I got a good laugh from this one.

If you remember a recent post of The Underwear Shirt Guys you will clearly notice that Matthias has no problem with jumping. I also offer this video from a month or so ago. Large hope chest, child-size footstool. Same difference. Right?
