Free Children

Miss 18months has just turned her first somersault. Pretty much since she started walking (7months ago), she's loved to turn herself into a little croquet hoop with feet, head and hands on the ground, and balance there waving her tush in the air. I've recently been watching her waver back and forth, and wondering when she was going to give enough of a push with her feet to go right over. She has just done precisely that, then got up, looking very pleased with herself, and attempted to do it back the other way, which would have ended with her lower anatomy inserted into her dolls' house. Luckily she wobbled over onto her side instead, and lay there giggling.

Are we going to have an acrobatic prodigy on our hands? Her sister was 8 before she got the hang of them...
