Ok, first off, thank you to catesmom for the squat on fairy. She arrived on time and did her job just perfect!
I stayed on the floor to help the coach (since I have a professional number as a meet director). Just to help them keep lined up in order and stuff. So, I didn't really get to watch...
Let me start off by saying that big DD did NOT qualify for States....far from it! It has been a bad week, not to make excuses, but she woke up on 1/30 (her birthday) with a raging fever of 102.6. It turned out that she had strep, so she missed several practices and really is still not up...
Beetle and I are home from Chicago.. and whew! Are we thankful for a week off before her next meet!
We had a 8:00 am Friday meet time.. We drove down to Chicago on Thrusday night. Rolled into the hotel at about 8:00, after an 8 hour drive. The drive was fine with the exception of one 6...
Dd had her 3rd meet yesterday and I was a little disappointed.She scored in the low 7's on bars and beam.Fell twice on both events.:(
I can understand the barscore and I know she also fell twice on beam but everything else looked pretty good to me.They lowered her SV to a 9.8.Fell on backseries...
So here we are again....the first meet for the spring season. The fall season was tough for Ambie. She came in dead last in her last two competitions. She was pretty frustrated. She told me last night that she was very nervous for awards, she did not want to come in last. So we had a 10:15 start...
Well, it's done..........
I am so proud of what DD has come back to after her 2 months on the DL, but I feel like a rotten parent because I was a little disappointed in her scores. Not in her, but I think you can get used to scoring certain scores.
She has always struggled w/ form and...
Sorry I have been a bad poster but the girls have been running me ragged. Let's start with.......................
Made it to States!!!!!!!!
Two weeks ago I thought Cate was going to do it but....bars. She started off the meet on beam. Normally a good event but she was wobbley and the beam was...
I would just like to get an idea of how other gyms handle parent participation at meets.
Does your gym fine the family if they don't meet the requirement to work shifts.
Please share how this is handled in your gym.

Bless her little heart. She had a rough go of it but I thought she was fabulous! She always impresses me. I know I'm mom but I'm just so in love with this little girl!
We had to get up really early to get there which probably didn't help the matter. We had to drive to one town to drop my boys...
Does anyone know anything about this?
Has your child/you ever attended, what goes on?
My dd is asking about the Party and what they do there and I have no idea, so I thought that I'd ask our general public!
TIA!
DD has meet #3 this weekend, Sunday at 2:00. Not too bad, at least she can eat a light lunch first.
She has done well her first two meets, and has really been working on her vault. I'm hoping that goes well, and the other events as well. So, we'll take any good luck wishes and fairies! Thanks.
DD has a meet scheduled for this weekend(L7). I'm hoping & praying practice goes well this week! Due to her recent set backs, related to fear issues, she maybe competeing just 1 or 2 events. I think she needs an army of fairies to help her out...how many can you guys send???? Maybe a guardian...
My DD had a meet yesterday. She got second on Bars, 3rd on beam, 5th on floor and 6th on vault (I might have the vault and floor backwards, I don't remember) She got 3rd AA with a 36.65
2 more meets left in our season, and still chasing the elusive gold,*sigh*.
She really did well. I felt...
It was an early morning, 8am report. Little monkey was hoping to start on beam which is her favorite rotation, but they were scheduled to start on floor, her 2nd favorite. My camcorder didn't cooperate so I didn't tape floor. It was uneventful, with a few little "dings", she got 9.0 (5th...
Here we go. We got back at 10:30pm last night after a hairy drive through the snowy backroads of Quebec, lovely! The meet ran late by 35 minutes and by the end everyone just wanted to leave!
As always DD was a great team member, cheered, hugged and supported. Wish I could say the same about...
Ok guys! I have gotten dd's final Prep-Op meet up. She had some uncharacteristic falls, but considering the crazy week we had prior (w/ all the boxing-up & moving) I think she was a real trooper. Here's the link:

She picked a gym! It was one of those 'love...
My kid is like, totally, not a morning person. Right off the bat, that's a problem with meets that require him to be at the gym at 7am. Last weekend he had to get up at 5am to get to the meet gym by 7:15. (Kinda sucked for Dad, too. :p)
Add to that the fact that he really has no appetite in...
