She injured some soft tissue in her leg and has to have 10 days straight of no activity. It is working but I caught her wrestling her brother this morning because the snow days (3 this week) are giving my kids cabin fever. My dd has been to school for an hour this week because I was told to let...
Ladies, you are so right! I thought about that all night. Beating the pants off should not have been repeated. I apologize if I offended! I have offended myself. Thanks.
I once went through a glass coffee table practicing gymnastics in my mom's livingroom. I still have the scar on my pinky from a minuscule cut I got! Now that I look back on it, I feel bad. The table was 5 by 5 solid glass and it was beautiful!
That phrase came from the other parents. I am just "borrowing it". My daughter has already been given a spot on the level 4 team and we have been told that she will not be competing level 4 twice which is the norm at our gym. She is treated differently but she also works her but off and is a...
newtogym- My daughter is very nice and so am I. Congrats on going to a gym where everyone is nice. Unfortunatley, we don't go to your gym. The kids are made Very aware of what there scores are. Parents right now are all in a frezy for 8 spots on our level 4 team with 50+ kids trying out soon. It...

My dd is injured with a states a couple of weeks away. She hasn't practiced all week and I'm not sure how things will go next week. The positive is that she has had a really good season so if she isn't in shape to compete states, her level 3 season was fun. Please send some healing fairies her way!
Hmm, I still do beam turns in my kitchen on a daily basis. In the summer, the trampoline is my friend. Let's hope she doesn't outgrow it. It brings me joy to this day!
My dd is a 5 year old level 3 who is super small. The vault is basically over her head. She has struggled with this event. Well, this weekend she nailed it. She scored over a 9 and got first place. I am just so happy for her. I know vault may be a nemesis for her because of her size but she...
You are so right Mary. I really am blessed that I am married to a wonderful husband, have a roof over my head and plenty to eat and all my children are safe and well. Everything else is just icing on the cake. I have always told my husband it is a sucessfull day if all of our children are...
She can cast to handstand nicely and go over the bar onto mats but the mats are so low to the ground and she has to fall a long way. It has been suggested that the mats be stacked closer to the height of the bar so she doesn't have to fall so far but to date that hasn't been done. She can also...
