Title: The Next Calling Champion
Post by: Blsum on March 19, 2010, 10:25:33 PM: I took this video of my son back in October. :IBCOOL: I finally figured out how to get the video off my phone and on here. He was about 2-1/2 years old. So what do you think. Should I enter him in next years competition?

Gregg,
How and where do you compete? PathfinderJR would definitely be interested in giving it a shot. He's won a couple of local contests here.
