The Pink Frog

Would you rather want your kids jumping up and down in the house or outside in the garden ? Are there lot of things to crash into in the house ? Is the garden outside safe for kids to jump widely ? Do you make sure the surrounding is without things to bring them harm ? Do you warn them about the dangerous things ? Do they pay attention to what you tell them ? Tell me your story, here is mine...

One little girl jumps up in the air.
Two little girls jump up in the air.
Three little girl jump up in the air.
A green frog jumps over them all.
The three little girls look at the frog and chase the frog.
The frog jumps higher and higher, and the three little girls jump after the frog.
The frog jumps up a tree, and one little girl jumps and hits the head against a branch.
One little girl jumps up in the air.
Two little girls jump up in the air.
A green frog jumps over them all.
The two little girls look at the frog and chase the frog.
The frog jumps higher and higher, and the three little girls jump after the frog.
The frog jumps over a pond, and one little girl jumps and splashes her feet feet in the pond.
One little girl jumps up in the air.
A green frog jumps over her.
The little girl looks at the frog and chases the frog.
The frog jumps higher and higher, and the little girl jumps after the frog.
The frog jumps over a rock, and one little girl jumps and falls from the rock.
No little girls jump up in the air.
A green frog jumps up in the air.
The green frog was laughing at the little girls that have fallen.
The green frog did not look in front of him and fell into a bucket of pink paint.
A pink frog jumps up in the air.
And pink is the color of frogs afraid of little girls.

Jumping Jack Flash

Don't you feel your kids are always jumping around ? Do you like them to jump ? Do you discipline them to know when they can or cannot jump ? Do you simply secret wish they would stop jumping ? Do they like to jump anywhere ? Or do they prefer trampolines and inflatable castles ? Do they jump anywhere ? Tell me your story, here is mine...

The dragon had been chasing the Little Girl. The dragon had the Little Girl for three times in it's big mouth. But the Little Girl managed to get out. She always jumped in the right moment just as the dragon opened the mouth to start chewing.
This time was no different. The dragon flew over the Little Girl and caught her with it's big mouth wide open. the Little Girl jumped out again through the space between two big teeth.
And jumped into the air.
The Little Girl landed on some soft leaves, and she continued jumping from leaf to leaf using the lift off of the leaf. And there goes the Little Girl, another jump.
The dragon was confused and flying left and right, up and down, he could not catch the Little Girl. The Little Girl jumped from giant leaf to giant leaf.
The leaves came close to a waterfall, and the Little Girl jumped right into the waterfall.
The dragon flew by one time and did not see the Little Girl hidden in the waterfall.
The dragon flew by two times and did not see the Little Girl.
The dragon flew by three times and did not see the Little Girl. The dragon flew away.
The Little Girl jumped once more from the waterfall onto the leaves. With each jump the Little Girl jumped higher and higher.
She jumped all the way home, and told Papi the story of the hungry dragon.

Papi is a Cloud

How is life when you just want to sit down in peace ? Does your child allow you to do that ? How is the energy level of your child playing alone ? Does your child play like a tornado taking everything in it's path or your child plays calmly alone not making any noise ? How do you feel ? Do you like it that way or would you prefer any different ? Tell me your story.
Here is mine...

The little girl jumped on the sofa. The little girl jumped with Bolt the dog on one hand, and Jumpy the rabbit on the other. Bolt didn't like to jump, that was for Jumpy to do. Bolt would rather run than to be just going up and down. It seemed a bit pointless to be on the same spot going up and down, but he's owner, the little girl, seemed to love it. She was smiling and laughing as she jumped up and down.
Jumpy on the other hand was very happy. He always liked when he's owner, the little girl, held him while jumping. The little girl jumped along the L-shaped sofa, leaving no cushion behind without a couple of jumps. Jumpy's ears followed the pattern. The ears were in sync with the little girls hair. Even jumpy's mouth seamed to have a smile as big as the little girl's.
Papi passed by to pickup a book he had left on the sofa. As he did so, the little girl waved at Papi. She was laughing and giggling, Papi was feeling like he could do well with less 50 kg and less 25 years. The sofa's cushions seemed really to invite the jumping up and down. Either that or simply the smiling little girl holding a plush dog and a plush rabbit. one more giggle, Papi smiled back at the little girl.
Since Papi could not jump up and down on the sofa, he decided at least to sit there while the little girl was jumping. while doing so, he dropped the book. The little girl promptly giggled at Papi's mistakes:
"Papi is goofy, Papi is goofy!"
The little girl seemed happy for once having Papi making the nonsense stuff instead of her, it felt good see that Papi also made mistakes, she suddenly felt that she was not alone in the world of silly stuff.
Just as the little girl laughed and sang the new lullaby loudly she banged into Papi while he was sitting. Somehow that laughing and giggling got contagious and infected Papi as well. They both giggled together for being goofy at the same time. Now was Papi's turn to feel good about not being alone making mistakes.
Papi sat and the little girl started a new jumping pattern. When jumping along the L-shaped sofa she passed by Papi, she would sit on his belly. And the lullaby got a new verse when she did that.
"Papi is a cloud! Papi is a cloud!"
That seemed quite a nice way of referring to Papi's extra pounds around the waist. Somehow at that moment the cloud suddenly became radiant as if the sun was just revealing itself from behind the cloud.
The little girl brought all the cushions and built a wall around Papi's belly. She carefully laid the cushions in the same pattern as when she built the Lego walls. Carefully laying the bricks made the soft but solid wall come to life around Papi's belly.
The little girl disappeared for a while to suddenly reappear dressed with the pirate clothes. The little girl became Captain Hook that could fly and was jumping on all the clouds looking for Peter Pan. 
Peter Pan would have a tough time today escaping the sword invests of the energetic Captain Hook.
