Parents Another round of "Your kid might be a gymnast IF..."

[suebee]

Your kid is the only kid in the grade who can do the rope climb in PE at all, much less doing it to the ceiling in pike!

Your kid wins the rope climb and pull-up contests at school for both the girls and boys.

Your vacation photos always include a split, leap and handstand poses at various spots of the vacation, especially the beach.

Strangers can just tell she's a gymnast by the posture, musculature, and weird gymnast running style.

when you are sitting at the gym for 4 hours doing booster club work because you drive an hour each way for practice and are going broke trying to stay busy!

When the elementary school has to change playground rules because other kids get hurt trying the things your child was doing on the bars.

True story.

what is up with the running??? i thought it was just my kid. lol . although she was hell bent to place in her school's fundraiser race - 5k. she didn't but she came in 5th or 6th in her age category and she was the youngest age in that category and she doesn't run at all. oh and all her friends who are in the running club after school came in after her. haha

For a long time, we actually had a letter from ds' coach for the doctor to explain all the bruises! LOL!

When she has the teachers clear out space in the first grade common room so she can show the entire first grade her floor routine...
It was the week after states, she placed on floor, and was very proud of herself - I heard about it after it happened...

This was a friend's kid, not mine, but:

When your kid gets a hoverboard for Christmas and immediately starts riding it in a handstand.
