Theo Turner-Urvand of Jamestown isn’t your ordinary kindergartener.
He’s a world record holder.
According to an organization that keeps track, Theo recently balanced a spoon on his nose for eight minutes and 39 seconds, a record for boys ages four to six.
“I was really happy,” said Theo. “I, like, jumped up.”
Theo says his grandfather taught him how to perform the feat.
“It’s very hard,” said Theo. “You use a metal spoon. It’s easier to get on your nose. My nose is kind of sticky, so that helps.”

Spencer Turner, one of Theo’s parents, says they learned about the website KidsWorldRecords.com and decided to try breaking a few of the listed records, including most footballs caught in a one-minute time span.
“We play a lot of football,” said Turner. “He held that record for about a month (19 catches) and then somebody else broke that one.”
“Since someone beat him, we’re thinking about trying our hand at that one again soon.”
