skipping is complex.

Lioncub wanted to skip all the way to daycare. He does not know how to skip.

Stand on one foot.
Rise to the ball of that foot.
Hop forward.
Shift weight to the other foot, repeat for that foot.

Somersaults are easier, but not so reliable a means of locomotion.

Boy shuffled and jumped a bit, and asked me to demonstrate most of the way there.

Nice thing about being a parent - once you've dealt with poop, nothing embarrasses you.
