Bouncing Boy

This blue bouncing ball has been in our family for the better part of thirty years. I'm not kidding. I remember bouncing on it as a small girl at my Grandma and Grandpa's house. All the cousins enjoyed it and eventually it got passed down to our family. Jude, not to be outdone by his older siblings, has insisted on bouncing as of late. He's really too small for the bouncy ball, but he tries anyway.

He mounts and dismounts by steadying himself against the kitchen cabinets. Normally, one would bounce in a forward motion while riding the bouncy ball, but not Jude. Since he's still too small for the bouncy ball, he's had to figure out an unconventional method for riding it--he bounces by pushing backwards with his feet, not forward.
