The Over Achiever

All parents celebrate milestones. Whether it is the first smile, the first 12 hour sleep (still waiting...) or the first day of school one can't help but look ahead excitedly to the next thing the poor kid will achieve. At 18 months old most little people have graduated in walking, talking (albeit often nonsensically), drinking from a cup and sleeping (vaguely) through the night. Some little people at 18 months however, are over-achievers. The Dutch one and a half year old Baerke van der Meij has just been signed to a Dutch Football club and there is a scribble on the contract to prove it. Though it is a 'symbolic' contract, the tot, who is not
 yet out of nappies has caught the attention of the first
 division side VVV-Venlo after his YouTube clip went 'viral'.

Just shows what the little ones can do eh?
