Re: Can your toddler jump well?

[Guest guest]

Hi Darby,

Neither of my twins could jump at that age either, and

now at 3 1/2 years old Alister (with unilateral

clubfoot) can jump 'properly' with both legs together,

but (with normal feet) still can't do it, he

always looks like he's going to jump but then he

really only does one big step.

Hope this helps,

with (3.5y)

and Alister (3.5y, right CF, Ponseti method, UK)

Gosh, I really did a " post and run " - I haven't been on the computer

since Thursday! Livi is doing really well, talking a TON. The

biggest news in our household is that is now walking!!! She

just started this weekend, so now I have two toddlers to chase!

Thanks for the feedback all, I was kind of worried but it sounds like

not jumping well is pretty normal.

Hey Darby,

Livi is just a few days older than Elijah and he doesnt jump well

now either. Thinking back to Ethan growing up (nonCF) he didnt jump

very well until he was about 2.5 - 3 yrs old.
