My 6.5 year old DD has had a skill explosion this past week... she got her standing BHS, her ROBHS, and her mill circle (but that is still pretty inconsistent).
She has been telling everyone she sees - at school, at church, family. Most of them have no idea what she's talking about. :)...
I am on CB again trying to actively avoid completing an assignment myself. But, I just wanted to brag once again about my DS and DD.
DS has effectively brought up all of his grades. His teachers report that they have seen a large improvement all around. DD has managed 16 hrs. of training...
We had our 3rd level 2 meet today and I just wanted to brag a little on how far my dd has come. She started the season with a 6.1 on bars, moved to a 7.7 at the second meet and today she received an 8.15. She has been working so hard and she is very excited.
She also received her first 9...
I have twin 9-year-old daughters. One does gymnastics and the other takes dance and art classes (because it would have made my life too easy if they had decided to do the same things). Well, today I got an email from Tory's dance teacher asking if she'd be willing to help with the 3/4 and...
I just wanted to brag on my DD's successes academically. She is in the gym for 16 hrs a week and has managed to focus quite well in school. Her mid term grades are all A's and one B! Her B is at a 91% still great if you ask me! She is a first grader and is so happy she now receives grades...
I remember watching jess first learn to tumble, passes were crooked, coaches having to run along side her to spot,never being 100% sure where the hands would go down and when. Then she was be so excited wanting to show us her first tuck . . .then we moved to a gym with a pit. Trying to land...
When I picked up DD from Gym on friday I was bombarded by my 13yo jumping up and down and very excited
She finaly and consistantly got her kip cast handstand free hip handstand, and it was really good!!! Even her coach was excited telling me all about her great form, tight body etc. (he...
I think it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen!:p
Younger DD (6 yo) has been struggling BAD with getting all the way up to the top of the mat stack with the L4 vault. Just in the last week or so has she even been able to even run and jump up there and do a forward roll! (that...
I have a super happy girl here today and just had to share her exciting news ;)
Rylee decided (today) that she would like to learn how to do a back walkover. After 3 'spots' she did it by herself (and she was yelling, "I DID IT!! I GOT IT!!!"... haha... love it when that happens)...
I've been catching toe-ups for awhile, but last night, I finally figured out how to tap and get power out of it! I've been doing a muscle up kip, which made it really hard to connect anything to it. I'm so excited!!! I thought I would never get it. :D
My dd had her first meet today. She was so excited! Here whole team did awesome. They are level 3's and it was their first meet. It has been a long year to get to this point. We had 3 coach changes since last April and weren't really sure how they were going to do. They all look so good...
So proud of my midget. Monday she was doing the L4 dismount on beam and she did not get far enough away and her hip slammed into the beam giving her a really nasty bruise.
Today she was very scared of the dismount, but she kept insisting she would get it herself without any help and did many...
Okayy so I've been working bwo bhs on beam for a while now.. They never improved and I would always get dissapointed and yeah long story.. But last week my coach told me to try handstand bhs instead of working bwo bhs that day. At first I was scared of it just like my bwo bhs (YES I WAS ON LOW...
OK...little bit is training at a gym near my parents this summer...been gone 6 weeks and tonight in a private did her first BHS on the beam....and stayed on...first 20....then BAM stuck it!! And again and again...
She is going to be a level 5 this year.....this was a just for fun...let's try...
Younger DD (age 6) did her RO BHS without that one-finger spot today...over and over again!:) Now,there were a few head scrapes here and there still but she is doing it and I am super proud of her. She managed to get quite a few with no head or even pigtails touching the ground! She had been...
Monday I took off work so I got to go to the gym and hang out. And got to see Midget do her ROBHS without a spot! The first one was pretty bad, but the next 2 were awesome!
So proud of that little girl.
All we lack now is the front hip, and still perfecting the dismount.
DD5 finally got her mill circle! This was her last skill to have all her level 4 skills. I seriously thought it was never going to a happen. Her coaches kept telling me she was close if she would just shift her hands. She is off gym this month and working out (aka playing) at her dad's gym...
got her KIP!!!:eek:
I even saw it, too!! and I hadn't planned on staying, just got into a conversation with some other parents, and we all saw her do it!!! She was so excited she kept kicking her feet and she yelled to the entire gym(from the top of the bar)!!
The coach that was monitoring the...
