DS2 (aged 8 months) pulled the hair trap out of the shower on his first attempt and with ease. Takes me upwards of 5 minutes to shift the thing! DS is no longer allowed in the bathroom.

Anyone else?

Catching a ball in their mouth.

Sitting cross legged for more than two minutes at a time.

My DDs are so bendy. DD1 has always been able to lie on her stomach and touch her toes to her forehead & DD2 has been able to sit comfortably in perfect straddle split since she was about 2. They both now do acro, so some of the things they can do really freak me out! It's not natural, I tell you!

Yesterday I ate a gourmet hot dog from a street food van. I had a napkin tucked into my T-shirt which got splattered with grease, I had two onion bits stuck to my legs and mustard all round my mouth.

A small child (maybe four?) who was sitting just over from me ate exactly the same meal without spilling a single thing.

Hmmm.

Handstands. I definitely can't do them any more but DS1 can.

Yoga.

My smug little three year old likes to get underneath me while I'm trying to do downward dog and do her own version. Hmm

She can also throw a ball more accurately than me, but this is not hard.

@GeneralPinoChez sounds delicious! I have a full body experience when I eat too...

Sleeping

Ddog manages to sleep 20 hours a day, I struggle to stay asleep 6 hours! That said ddog and I both are stiff after long walks, though I don't chase balls and 20+mph

Sleeping anywhere.

The ability to run from one corner of the house to the other at 300mph at 3 in the morning whilst meowing like a banshee...
