DD, age 4 and half, started gymnastics a month ago, partly due to the fact that I wanted her to do a class in sports (would have preferred tennis as I play myself and love it!) but partly due to the fact that she's such a climber, always been very active, has fallen/hit her head loads of times, so wanted to help her to use up some of this 'hyper' energy and also to teach her to fall/tumble safely
Last week, when I went to collect her from the hour or so class, the coach said she was able to do something called a top hip circle, I think 
almost immediately, whereas it usually takes them weeks to teach the kids her age the technique. Again today when I collected her, the coach, who's a young girl but seems to know her stuff, said she was way ahead of the others and 'was not just saying it as I'm her mother'. She said she has a natural talent for it, has excellent balance and co-ordination for her age:)
The cynical part of me thinks they might say this to lots of parents so you'll pay more money to enrol her for more class 
(we've paid up til June) but part of me is a bit smug and a bit proud too
Was a bit emotional about it all today as DD had a small health problem when she was born, in my fantasies today, I thought she could become a famous Olympian and be a role model for other kids, but am obviously BU and have lost the run of myself......
