Hi Everyone!
My name is Heather, and I have a 5.5 year old who just started in a pre-preTeam class. The regular preTeam class is 2.25 hours twice a week, so her gym made a pre-preTeam class last year that's 1.25 hours twice a week to get the girls used to the longer times. Taryn just started full-day Kindergarten last week, so I figured I would "ease her in" and maybe advance to the longer class when her coach think she can handle it.
She started gymnastics at 3.5 in the normal recreational pre-school class, and absolutely loves it. She's been bugging me like crazy to buy her (or for her daddy to build her, lol) a mini-bar in the backyard. She watches youTube videos all the time of "how-to" videos and level 4-5 competitions.
I stumbled across this forum looking for leos . She is just growing out of the "toddler" sizes (I guess CXS?). I realized as we were getting dressed for her first class last week (she went during the summer, but there's been a downtime in between of 3 weeks - she must have had a growth spurt!), so I picked one up a Target to get us through... but the sizing there is weird too (the XS was too small, the S is really baggy...)
I love forums in general, so I'm glad I found another home where I can maybe learn more about the sport - I don't want to push her, but I would love for her to find something that excites her and stick with it.
So anyway, Hi!
