i knew nothing about gymnastics when my kid was that little. so i didn't know i had a future gymnast. i only knew that this child, unlike our previous 4, physically couldn't be still & was always going vertical (i.e. climbing).

Fun thread...

You know you have a gymnast when the babysitter catches your 18 month old sitting on the windowsill (5 feet off the ground) after climbing on the nearby toys to get up there.

Tell me about it! I cry a little every time I open that cabinet (my poor dh is not a handy guy and he used wood glue to fix it-pretty sure I should have handled the repair myself, lol!)

When your 18 month old tries to imitate her older sister doing handstands.

 

[3LittleGymmies]

When your 2 1/2 year old is trying to get her press handstand (and she almost has it!) . She does have two gymnast big sisters.. so I am sure that's part of the problem!

 

[AV24]

When your one year old breaks two crib slats in half with her chubby baby legs.

 

[mylittlemiss]

When your 2 1/2 year old knows the level 5 routine by heart and can perform it upon command. She had an older sister who was a gymnast and loved to copy her!

 

[LIGYMMOM]

When you find your two yr old clinging to the top of the foundation pole in the basement with a binky in her mouth.

 

[lilymom]

When at 2 it has to be a rule that two people can''t hold her hand at once because she immediately does a back flip while holding your hands. Or when she can't sit in the kid carts at Target without doing flips over the handle bar when you turn around to look at something.

 

[gwenmom]

Hmmmmm is it me or does two seem to be the age the gymnastics 'talent' seems to emerge

 

[lilymom]

Sounds about right
