Move over, Nastia Liukin...

I wanted to share this clip last week, in the spirit of the Olympic Games, but I never got around to it. We've quite the little gymnast on our hands. Here's some footage of the floor routine that Emmett had prepared in case he got called in as back-up in Beijing. We're very proud. Clearly, he's inherited his athletic prowess from his mother...

I don't think they let you try out for the olympics without your unitard. Does he only do it when he's naked? I can imagine it gives him much more artistic freedom!
