Sumo Baby

Evan is developing an appreciation for athletes of all shapes and sizes, but being a child of the new millennium he is especially interested in activities that are outside the traditional bounds of what we would call sport. I've already discussed his affinity for competitive eating. His near-hyperactivity in the womb and early love of sudden, erratic limb movements imply he will be a natural at Dance Dance Revolution. And I'm not sure how it will be applicable in the future, but he seems eager to practice his spitting for distance and volume skills on a moment's notice.

Recent developments suggest that in addition to emerging "sports" Evan may also have an inherent affection for some of the most traditional athletics (although not necessarily of our culture). To wit, look at him practice his form for sumo:

I may try and recreate this picture in the future once Evan is more comfortable hanging out in just his diaper, as the imagery will be more complete.
