It looks like Ellen Degeneres has found another highly talented 3-year-old by the name of Emma.
Emma is a gymnast and is ridiculously good at what she does. She visited the Ellen Show to show off some of her moves for the audience.
DeGeneres welcomed Emma to the show and asked her when she first started doing gymnastics. Emma said she was 2 and a half when she began doing gymnastics. Emma's mom said she was very clumsy when she was younger and hopes that gymnastics would help her break it.
After she started, Emma began moving up in the classes and they have been going strong. Her favorite gymnast is Gabby Douglas who won an Olympic Gold Medal.
Emma says she is a fan of Gabby because she likes her leotard and the fact that she won a gold medal. Her favorite things to do in gymnastics are bars, backbends and back hand springs. Adorable little Emma says she is not afraid of falling because they all get back up.
Her father is in Korea serving in the Army. She does get to facetime him and he left behind a "Daddy Kiss Jar." The jar is filled with Hershey Kisses, one for each day he will be gone. Emma is adamant about not stealing the Kisses.
Her mother said that she was caught stealing them because she thought the days would go by faster if she took them.
After the interview, Emma performed for the audience and wowed them with her spectacular moves. She also did an incredible handstand and a kick over.
Then it was on to the backhand springs on a trampoline. At the end of her performance, DeGeneres surprised Emma with a hug jar of "Ellen Hugs." You can watch Emma perform in the video below.
