Responsible Parenting

Having seen Tom Savini do this with his kid in a behind-the-scenes horror documentary, I'd always wondered how difficult it was. As it turns out, not too difficult, so long as your child develops the required strength while they're still at a weight you can hold up with one hand. Obviously that weight will vary from person to person - Dom is just about at my limit already! This will be a short-lived game for us :-) Oh, and this was shot with our new camera. The second bit is with the fisheye lens attached, as you can see. It's neat how much more of the room is visible from the same distance away (as far away as it was possible to get in the confines of a small room).

The Dom will bungy jump with glee when he is older and not know when his fearlessness first developed! Impressive for the gymnastics but even more so for the sheer enjoyment on small boy's part.

It was pretty neat how much he enjoyed it - and how easy it turned out to be. I don't think it's something we'll be doing anywhere other than over a soft, bouncy bed though :-)
