Jumping

You all know how much I loathe the 'What to expect' book, yet I feel strangely compelled to re-read it. And this is the pearl that I discovered inside the other day:

"by the age of 21 1/2 months your child may be able to jump up"

Huh? Would it be the same child that has been hopping like an Easter bunny on our bed with the 'jumb jumb' screams for the last 4 months? The child that goes over to play at a friend's house and heads straight for their well-worn mattress (they have a 5-year-old who taught Eva to jump). The child who jumps OFF the bed?

Maybe I could write the "what to expect from your active toddler" book? It would certainly reflect more accurately the kids I see around.
