First Jump

Wahoo! My fist was frozen high in the air, but suddenly my fingers twitched! I leaned forward, flexed my knees, and pushed off the soft, patterned fabric beneath me. A real jump! Landing back down with a gentle bounce, I tapped the thick quilted ridges of the surface with my gloved hand. It was soft, springy, and completely steady under my boots. I am moving, fully ready to go!
