This evening Bentley decided to display his fondness for the adrenaline generating activity of pillow jumping. This was a carefully practiced routine that he repeated over a dozen times. First, he arranged the pillows carefully in a pile on the floor next to the couch. Then he climbed up and over the couch to the bookcase behind. After he captured his audience's attention by raising his arms and chanting "High, high, high!" (picked up from the high/low game of high near the ceiling when Opa lifts him up and low on the floor) he would leap over the edge on to the couch. The next stage involved carefully placing himself in alignment with the floor cushions and then leaping with glee face first into the pile. An occasional variation was the dead man drop where he went rigid and just fell off the couch. Jackson seemed to be very interested in this activity and was watching to see if he could glean some tips for his own potential career in stunt performing. Genevieve, on the other hand, took no interest in this foolishness and spent her time in the practical pursuit of developing her walking skills.
