Big Jump

I'm realizing more and more that Tyndale having an older brother is kind of dangerous, as he wants to do (as well as say) everything his big brother does.

Case in point. . .

Tyn watched Ked jump of this little platform that Ked is on in this picture.  (It doesn't look so high in this picture, since Tyn is well in front of it, but it is 6 feet from the ground to Ked's feet.)  It surprised me that Ked even made an attempt.  But as soon as Ked did it, Tyn wanted to.  He tried climbing up, and I eventually took him to the top, only to realize that he was absolutely determined to jump off, just as he'd seen his big brother do.  He kept pushing my hands away and then leaning just slightly forward as he bent his knees with his hands forward, and then getting frustrated when I'd grab him.  Part of me really wanted to see him try, but obviously I did not want to see him face some awful consequence (broken foot?).  He does love to jump, and at 18 months he surprised Sam and I by jumping off a table that was probably 3 feet (Sunday School classroom table), but I think this would have been a little too much.  I'm 99 percent positive he would have jumped if I'd let him.
