You know that your little one is special, but did you ever wonder if he or she is the next Michael Phelps, Katie Hoff or Nastia Liukin? Sometimes raw talent can be recognized very early. Here are some tongue-in-cheek ways that you can tell if your baby is headed for the Olympics.
He can spit out strained peas farther across the room than any other baby you know, and his accuracy has the dog running for cover.
You often find her sitting on top of the refrigerator or kitchen cabinets with no visible means of climbing up there.
At bath-time, he spends most of the time working on his splashes for a future swimming or diving career.
You have to change her on the floor instead of a diaper changing table, otherwise she is likely to do a double twisted dismount off of the pad.
He is well on his way to setting a new world record for the after-bath naked dash across the house. Extra points are awarded if the bath towel gets stuck in his bottom.
She can do the crawl across the floor to a dropped Cherrio or raisin faster than you can reach down to pick it up.
He can hurdle himself over the baby gate in record time. My daughter always did this, so 2020, here we come!
She creates her own medal platform out of a stool or chair and waves to the imaginary crowd.
You find him hanging or swinging off of the furniture.
She can take that soft baby ball and pitch it clear across the room (usually hitting someone in the face).
Floor exercises take on a whole new meaning.
Ever since the womb, he has proven himself to be an excellent kick boxer.
