Daughter had a really good first meet. She got 33.5 AA she came in 5th place AA and also I think she qualified for states. A year makes a big difference, this is her second year as a level 4 and her form is so much better, she has all her skills. I am glad that she got another year to really do well instead of just pushing her to the next level, she has alot of her level 5 and 6 skills but she has had a chance to really perfect her level 4 routines. So all those new parents who are worried about their daughters progress and scores just give it time. I was so nervous watching that I had to stand toward the back so I would not make her nervous (Now I know why Nastia Luikens mom stayed outside the olympic staduim the night she competed). To all the Moms who video tape thier daughters how do you do it? I got a video camera but was so nervous that I could not even video tape her I kept thinking I would jinx her,maybe next time. The best part of the meet was her friend who was also repeating level 4 got the same score, So they were happy together, then a couple of the girls from who moved up to level 5 ran onto the floor during awards and were hugging them!
