We still have no idea why, but he consistently refers to jumping as "Ga-bee". He'll say things like, "Mommy, ga-bee stars?" which of course means he wants me to jump to the stars (which I can do in his eyes). Or often it is, "More ga-bee, peeeease". This is most often heard in the context of the bedtime routine when he likes to tell us the order that things will happen. We'll say to him, "Okay buddy, time for bed" and he'll respond with "Rory ride horse, read book, then night-night" Its very funny. He sort of bargains now only he doesn't always get that some things are not an option. Sometimes its "Rory outside, then night-night".
But, back to his amazing Ga-bee tricks, and in the interest of showing off his coordination, I've thrown in a video of him jumping off 2 feet. He LOVES to jump.
He also LOVES to skip and he LOVES to walk in his "tippy-toes". His new favorite game is to run around his room naked after a bath on his tip-toes and says "tippy, tippy, tippy, tippy" then eventually falls on the ground and says "crash!". And lately he's been skipping every where he goes. He only skips with 1 foot forward instead of alternating, so the overall effect is a nearly perfect imitation of the knights in Monty Python's Holy Grail when they travel around "on horse" by skipping with 1 foot forward and clapping together coconut shells to create the clop sound. All he needs is a coconut and he'd be movie ready.
