    Been a while

    It has been FOREVER since I have posted on here. I do still come and lurk at times. Life has been so crazy hectic...especially over the summer with the kids out of school. But they started back on the 19th (thank you Lord..lol) and now Mama can finally get some time to herself. Hope everyone is...

    WAG Has your gymnast ever done a vault drill like this?

    Never seen it set up like this. At DD gym they will sometimes place a 4 inch safety mat (I hope I am calling it the right thing...lol) at the backside of the table. The mat stands on its end/side so it sticks up over the end of the table by about 6 -12 inches (seeing it from across the gym, so...

    WAG More than one judging table on one event..who to salute?

    I find the fluctuation in what is done from meet to meet, state to state very interesting. I love hearing and seeing how it is done in other places

    WAG More than one judging table on one event..who to salute?

    Thank you again. My DD is a L5, so this is the first year that she is competing where it really "counts" persay. That being said, this is her 3 rd year competing...and we have only been to three meets where this was the case, and then only on floor. Anywhere else, and at all meets for other...

    WAG More than one judging table on one event..who to salute?

    I just have a quick question. Many are thinking, impossible for me, I know..lol But some meets we go to there are two judges tables on floor. Some both judges sit at the same table. When there are two tables..who do they salute when they are done? Do they salute both judges..either judge..the...

    WAG 1st level 7 meet-not great with shining moments

    WTG to her for meeting her own personal goals. And good for her for overcoming fears. Sounds like a pretty great meet. Putting scores aside. And now she has a fire under her bottom to "not let that happen again".

    WAG Kadee's 3rd L5 Meet

    Well..this meet went MUCH better..lol I think this is what she needed to give her a boost in her self esteem. She was starting to doubt herself a little bit. Vault, 1st Bars, 3rd (missed that dang high bar kip..again. Got it EVERYTIME in warm up..lol) Beam, 4th (fell on her handstand (of all...

    WAG Peeling feet?

    I brought it up with the Dr. too..just to make sure she didn't have anything funky going on there (because she does sweat a lot). He said pretty much said the same thing your doctor told you about your DD. It's just from being so dry from the chalk and from the "excessive" use. (not really...

    WAG Peeling feet?

    Thank you everyone for the advice. Her feet aren't peeling deep either..at least not yet. But I worry because as a kid my feet did the same thing (I practically lived at the city pool in the summer) but would get so bad they would peel real deep and crack. I don't want hers getting to that...

    WAG Hair Ribbon deduction...?!?!

    I have never heard of a ribbon deduction. But if it was a distraction to the judges..how is it the kids fault that they (the judges) have ADD? Have you guys figured out how to keep them from "distracting" the judges for the next meet? And I agree..there are good judges and bad judges. At one...

    WAG Peeling feet?

    Okay, my DD (7), her feet are peeling. Mainly the balls and the heels. (more the balls than anything) She has VERY sweaty feet and hands, and is constantly in the chalk trying to keep her hands and feet "dry". I pointed out her sweat issue and her peeling feet to the Dr. Wanted to make sure she...

    WAG NCAA Meet???

    We went to one last year that was held in the same arena that the girls were having their meet in. It was pretty cool. They got to watch the college girls on friday night, then they competed on the same equipment for their meet the next day. They thought that was the best. They got to meet the...

    WAG 2nd Meet Report

    Oh, believe me, I never said that scores were everything. I always make sure she sees the silver lining. But, like I said, it is hard for me to see her dissapointed in herself because her scores didn't reflect her corrections. That is what is hard for me. Not the scores. It's just hard to get a...

    WAG 2nd Meet Report

    Her coaches are very supportive and told her she did a great job. They let her know that she met all her goals for this meet. And that's all that matters. She is just disappointed in herself. I have told her over and over...you worry about you. That's all you can control. You can not control...

    WAG Love the pictures we always get from this meet. (LOTS)

    The photographer is pretty good. Seems to really know the routines so knows exactly when to snap that shot. Same as last year, I bought the CD. He said I could do whatever I want with them. The only thing I couldn't do was copy the picture he printed for me. These are some of my favorites...

    WAG 2nd Meet Report

    It's really hard for me on this one. Because she did better but her scores were lower for the most part, except beam. Everything was much cleaner. She missed the high bar kip AGAIN, and didn't fight for it this time. (she found out she didn't get credit for it anyway last time..sooo...) Other...
