I had posted in the good luck forum, and am updating here.
Jaden had a great day, she woke up at the butt-crack of dawn ready to go...but had to wait until noon to compete. She was a vibrating, excited bundle of energy all morning.
She had a really great day-competed in all 4 events, which was...
Hi, just wanted to post the results of DDs mock meet today. I am extremely proud of her and for the beginning of the season did fantastic. This looks to me a great indicator of what, I feel, will be another "kick butt" season! :D

Recently had big meet with brand new floor routine - only practiced it...
DD will be attending her first meet of the season tomorrow and she is very excited. She is L3 and she could definitely use some form fairies and bar fairies. Basically I just want her to have an enjoyable experience tomorrow and I she can sometimes be hard on herself. :)
Those of you who are returning gymnasts will understand the anticipation.
We're hosting a T&T meet, and one of my girls who 'retired' from tumbling said she'd tumble if I do. So suddenly she's tumbling and so am I.

My dd has her very first meet tomorrow! She's very excited! I hope it all goes well for her first time. Please send some good luck vibes for the handstand on the beam and the mill circle. She has both skills but both make her nervous!

Okay my dd is a wreck...she has her first meet with her new gym and is really stressing out. She had a decent first L5 meet before switching gyms...now she's afraid of vault. May I add, she had a great practice earlier in the week doing wonderful...last practice she wouldn't do the vault at...
My ds landed wrong yesterday at gym coming out of a front handspring...flukey thing, never happened before, skill he doesn't usually have any trouble with at all, in fact, this was during basics. He landed on the edge of his foot, but his body collapsed and he sat right down on top of his...
I have to say that I couldn't sleep last night and was a nervous wreck just thinking about her competing. She on the other hand woke up bright and early at 5am and was ready to go with tons of energy. I felt sick to my stomach the whole time we drove over there and while we were waiting...

DD has her first meet ever at the beginning of January and I'm very nervous about it. I was trying to pinpoint what I'm nervous about because really there's no expectation for her on my part and I don't think there's any on her part either. My only expectation for her is that she participates...
I had my first meet on the weekend! It wasn't a real meet, but a mock meet at our club so we know what we need to fix and I still got scores and everything! I did the best I could and thought I did really good!
