Her first sectionals and she did really well! Momma is proud 
Pixie was so excited the night before I had a hard time getting her to sleep! I was so nervous because she has had a really hard time in gym the week before on her handstands which effects many of the L4 routines.
At gym the girls have a handstand contest at the end of class before they can go home. They do it over and over letting the winner leave until the last little girl standing (Pixie, lol!). Well, she desperately wants to hold her handstands longer like the bigger girls so the coaches and her have been adjusting her handstands and Pixie has been arching them because she thinks she can hold them longer that way.
This has been causing her problems in the floor routine, the beam dismount and to some extent her vault. So, I'm really nervous! This was her first sectionals and I wasn't sure what to think. Had I known how the day would play out I wouldn't have gotten so worked up, haha!!
First up was beam: Great routine! Bobbled her turn but it is still a solid routine so far, all that's left is her dismount. Fingers crossed...breath held......handstand is archie. She tries to hold on to it but loses it and doesn't make it over. She gets back on and makes her second attempt.
8.375 ~ did not place
Okay, I admit I thought this knocked her out of the running to qualify for states.
Bars: Very nice routine. Stuck the landing. Things are looking up
9.225 ~ 5th place out of 17
Floor: I was worried about her handstands again but she showed me! They were really nice and held them longer than any other meet of the season. Her ROBHS is getting better. Legs are more straight than they had been. Great routine! Just a side note* Pixie has picked up the little walk on and off the floor that just makes me giggle!!
9.275 ~ 2nd place
Vault: Her nemesis. First vault...amazing! Better than I've ever seen!! I'm stunned, almost in tears. She's been working hard on these vaults. I'm so glad to see it pay off and when she needed it most, too! One more vault left and it's even better than the first one! Are you kidding me!?! Where did these vaults come from? Who is that little girl? It's Pixie! And she's beaming from head to toe!! I'm so proud of her. She's smiling from ear to ear and having the time of her life. This is what it's all about.
