J U M P

I sometimes think that jump is Will’s favorite word. He loves to write it. I found the first jump spelled out in plastic letters on the windowsill when he was three. “That couldn’t be intentional, could it?” I thought. He couldn’t talk or play or really do anything except line up plastic ABCs. When I found it spelled out again a week later I decided that he really could spell it.

He has written jump all over the pages of a library book. But it’s Marvin K. Mooney so that was probably inevitable. I guess I’m buying the library another copy. Will loves to jump on the trampoline. He’s probably gotten more exercise in the last week and a half than he has the previous year.
