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 tumbling pass into a pit is scary especially when your not confident, consistant or aware of where you land. I remember watching her coach patiently marking the floor over and over.
Tonight she landed several fulls, for the first time into the pit w/ a mat in it. Watching her I was amazed by how much she has matured and how aware she is of where every part of her is. And I was a bit heart broken she didn't come running out jumping up and down demanding celebrational ice cream. Not to say she wasn't excited, I could see it all over her face in the gym. It was just . . . . More of a big girl response. my baby is growing up. Make her stop.
Just wanted to share
