    Parents Compete or (Not) Compete

    Hi All, So, my DD lost her "squat-on". She's had it - since early this summer, but, somehow lost it!! She's an Xcel Gold gymnast (or at least for now - I'm wondering if they might need to drop her back to Silver - at the rate she's going!). And, the first competition of the season, is January...
