My sister put my nephew in gymnastics at a fairly early age after his publik skool teachers suggested drugs to calm down his natural energy. He was a natural too, did gymnastics all the way through high school and ended up getting a scholarship to a university on their gymnastics team. Kept it up through university and made 2nd place in some NCAA finals several years ago. Don't know where he got his skills (certainly not from my side of the family!!), but it is a great sport. Congratulations!! LSA

Joshua is just so fearless! To come around the corner and see him clear up at the top of the hall with his head pressed up against the ceiling (you know, with one hand and foot on either side of the hall walls) is rather unnerving (I made him promise that he wouldn't do it without me spotting him!) And flipping into the pool doing a backward handstand on the side of the pool (softsided pool, mind you) was extremely nerve-wracking (he could only do it with me standing there and only when he was showing someone.)
