Frankie comes to visit
and 
tests out the new swing.
While his parents slept in, Grandpa took Frankie out (in his pajamas) to ride the swing.
(This was after the truly nutritious breakfast of melon, grapes, sausage, and graham crackers.)

By tugging on the rope, Frankie could get David bouncing.

 Then Frankie discovered that he could tug on the rope to get the swing going side-to-side.


 
Or tumbling backwards!
He actually did fall off, but it was a controlled tumble, and with the swing so low to the ground, he just slipped off.

And got right back on again.
