    Parents 7yo has scoliosis

    Starting last week my 7yo started having neck pain similar to a crick in her neck. I assumed that was what was happening. She has a 2 week break from gym right now. I thought she could just rest and be fine. Well after a week there was little improvement. She has almost no motion up and down...

    Parents Meet Results

    This one is huge, ya'll!!! This was a really large invitational, the biggest meet we've been to so far. The L2's were competing against girls from all over the country. There was even a HUGE team of about 20 girls that traveled from Mexico. It was an impressive display of organization for...

    Parents Trials and Triumphs....

    My 7yo has been struggling at gym lately. She's doing really well on her L2 competitions, but she is getting a little discouraged. She thinks her coach hates her because she does pushups constantly. They do 25 pushups when they make a mistake on their routines. Poor thing was at her breaking...

    Parents She got it!!

    I posted a while back about DD (7yo) doing her BHS and then losing it. I just left it alone after discussions on here, and watched her progress in the gym. Her coach has been working with her and the other L2 girls on the skill. She has the cleanest BHS of all of them with a spot, but she was...

    Parents 2nd level 2 meet of the season

    This one was a little rougher on me than it was on my gymmie. I definitely learned some lessons. We were competing against 12 other teams this time. DD was pretty nervous, but she didn't really show it too much. She started off on beam and did pretty well (8.925). Next was floor, which she...

    DD's very first meet is on the 10th. She is L2 and a little nervous. Well, last night I found out that DS's first swim meet is the same day about 2 hours away. He was on the phone with me BEGGING me to go to his meet. My exDH and I are going to have to switch off meets. I'm going to swim...

    Parents Fear of BHS

    So, my 7yo DD has been doing BHS on the tramp and tumble track for months. She can do 5 or 6 in a row with NO problems. A few months ago she started doing BHS on floor as well. Now, all of a sudden, it's gone. She is too nervous to do it. To my knowledge nothing has caused this. No falls...

    Parents Plantar Warts

    My daughter has two large ones on the balls of both feet. I talked to a couple other moms at the gym and there daughters have all had them too. I know it's a virus, and clearly it's at the gym. Is there anything I can be doing to prevent these? I was thinking maybe I could wipe her feet down...

    WAG Advice for hand tears

    So my 7yo L2 got her first tear yesterday. It was not a bad one AT all, and I'm glad her first one was minor. She has been terrified of getting them because 2 others on her team have had pretty significant tears. My question is what can I do to prevent or lessen the likelihood of tears. Her...

    Parents Finally got it!!

    My 7yo L2 has been doing her back handspring on trampoline and tumble track for quite a while now. I've known for a while that if she just got over a little bit of fear she could do it on the floor. Well, last week I noticed that she was doing it on a very thick mat at the end of the tumble...

    Funny observation from my 7yo

    She just asked me why the men don't have music for their floor routine. I have no idea, so like most moms I made something up. I told her that with music it might be too girly and like dancing. Without music seems stronger and more masculine. Her response? "Well they should do floor routine...

    Can't watch live....so aggravated!!

    I REALLY would rather watch live than wait for the NBC showing in prime time. Problem is I have to log in with my cable provider. I live in a small town with a VERY small provider so I can't watch on NBC. Can't watch on BBC either. It just says I can't view from my area. Grrr...the NBC...
