DS has had a long gymnastics road. He is competing L8 this weekend on 3 events for the first time in 2 years.
It is a big meet that happens to be at his home gym.
He asked us NOT to go. He said he thought the pressure would be better without us there.

I totally understand, but feel I need a wig and some big sunglasses immediately!
 
He competed! 3 events, which I did not even see except floor...I came towards the end.
He was beyond nervous and awkward when i dropped him off.
But he was happy that he did it....the first is the worst right??
I am beyond proud of him. He has really persevered throughout this sport. He went from several State/National titles, to terrible injuries, to a terrible coach....
He is still doing it. Good for him.
 
Thanks so much for listening!!!
It really has been such a crazy road! It really is hard to be a gymnastics parent! I have made so many mistakes, but I think this was the right thing. I gave him his space....I kept my opinions to myself (only to vent here!). He was all smiles.....He took his 4th place finish proudly laughing and saying, 'well, there were only 4 guys in my group!'
actually, it just hit me too.....My DD just finished her season this weekend too!
i guess NO REST?
