Bouncy Castle

Since I have a holiday today, and I'm spending it playing with Troy, I decided to jazz it up a little and pull his bouncy castle back out.  We haven't had it set up since his birthday party in February, and he was a little too small to enjoy it back then. 

He thoroughly enjoyed the blower and the process to inflate the thing.  So much so, that I had a hard time getting him away from that to actually enter the castle!  Once inside, he was a little timid, not quite sure what to do inside this strange new toy.  I quickly indoctrinated him when I bounced next to him and sent him flying up in the air to land with a splat on his face.  He's a quick learner, though; and it took him only a few seconds to pick himself back up, propel himself upward to get some momentum, come down with all of his considerable 30 pounds, make impact, and fly back up in the air angled straight for my chest and head.  We collided in the middle of the castle and went sprawling, both of us laughing.

We spent the next hour chasing each other around, trying to knock each other over, and enjoying being off-balanced.  At some point, Troy just started running around in circles, trying to stay on his feet as the floor gave way beneath him, but landing on his face half of the time instead.  Afraid that he was going to make himself dizzy, and by association sick, I decided that it was time to take a break from the castle.  I apparently waited too long, and as soon as we got downstairs, he threw up.  He didn't seem to mind much, with the flush still on his cheeks and the smile still on his lips.  I just hope the exercise was enough to wear him out!
