So, three out of the four fairies I requested showed up...

Bars was first... Didn't miss a single squat-on in warm-up and then missed it in competition AND hit her toes on the bar in her flyaway! Ugh. And yet she managed to get a 8.45 which was 4th place! Go figure! Lordy, I hate bars.

Then on to beam... Solid enough routine, though not the best I've seen her do. Judges seemed to be scoring pretty easy because she got a 9.2, but the first few places all went to girls with 8.7-8.85. 5th place.

About this time I was thinking that this was just not going to be a great meet for her, but then she pulled off the nicest floor routine (9.15, 2nd place) and nicest vault (9.3, 1st place) that I've seen her do!

AA was a 36.10...her first 36 EVER! And 2nd place! Nailing her bar routine wouldn't have gotten her a higher place because 1st place had something like a 37.5. Anyway, she's super-happy and I'm super-proud!
 
Edit to the original post...
I meant the top places went to girls with 9.7-9.85 (though you probably figured that out). I think those scores are so high I can't even conceive of them... much less type them.

I've decided that her generous bar score is due to extra credit given for being able to smack your feet on the bars on your fly-away (hard) and still stick your landing. Now there's TRUE tallent! ;)
 
She really makes it look effortless!! Beautiful job! Darn fairies, anyway-I heard they are rather mischevious! My Mia's first L6 meet is this coming Sat, and I'm a nervous wreck! It's our hosted meet, so maybe I will go help outside that session and not watch. I might pass out if I were to see her hit her toes on the bar...

Anyway, she won't be as poised and polished as your dd, but I can guarantee....her hair will be fabulous, lol!!
 
Yay, great meet! She looks really good!
