I have a tendency to bounce my knee up and down when sitting in a chair. I don't really realize I am doing it most of the time but every once and awhile, someone will take note of it and bring it to my attention. My leg just gets a mind of its own whenever the weight shifts to the ball of my foot. It has been that way my whole life, so it was not a shock that I do it, more of a shock of the frequency it must be done for Joshy to turn in my lap this evening and ask me to "shake him". At first I look at him having no clue what he is asking me to do, visions of shaken child syndrome and DHS in my head. He then explains that he wants me to bounce my leg up and down and shake him. So, there we sat, through a 30 minute episode of Dora, him bouncing up and down with my knee. Apparently my children have grown up so used to my bouncing leg that they actually request it. Still, letting my leg bounce for 30 minutes was far less exhausting than dancing with Ben to In the Jungle for two. Here is the video I pull on YouTube for us to dance to. Turn it up loud and sing along...
