Wasn't part of the plan

Conner just took all the cushions off the couch and placed them on the floor in front of the ottoman. He also took all the clean clothes out of the laundry basket and piled them on top of the cushions. I came around the corner from the kitchen to find this display. He was on the back of the couch, standing, and yelling 1-2-3 go. He jumped very gracefully to the springs on the couch and that was where the grace ended. He hit the springs clean with both feet. He was not counting on the massive air he got from jumping from 3 feet to couch springs. Honestly he could have gotten back to his original position on the back of the couch. He actually flipped in the air and landed on the ottoman, butt 1st, and bounced into the clothes-cushion safety area he created. This all happened in about 2 seconds. It was not pretty to watch. It was nothing but arms and legs flapping and a very loud "WWOOOOWWOOO." After looking him over and with all my years of med school I determined that he was fine. I asked him what he was thinking and he replied "Not that, I just wanted to bounce." I asked him if he was going to do it again and he said "Not today, maybe tomorrow." Cathy needs a job at home 'cause I'm gonna need help with this one.
