Me too!! My DD has most of her level 3 and several level 4 skills and her coach said that they're thinking about having her compete level 4, but they won't decide until later this summer (officially). I am dying to see level 3. I think, since she just started gymnastics last year (rec) and...
Proud Parent! :)
