Can you even imagine being asked to watch a baby who is 10-times more athletic than you and can scale walls? It would be pure unbridled hell. Video of this backflipping 2-year-old emerged last week from Athletic Standard, who shows the kid flipping, climbing, jumping and doing the kinds of things we all dream about.

Here’s to you, nightmare athletic toddler. You might be causing your babysitters hell, but we’ll be watching in awe at the Olympics one day.

This is ridiculous
