Hi-
I am new here, been lurking a little, and recognize some of you from youtube when DD wants to see "gymnastics on the computer". I am the mom of a 6 year old pre-teamer. Just getting my feet wet and learning all I can about gymnastics.
DD will compete level 3 this year. She is very excited. She has been doing gymnastics in some form or another since birth- from Gymboree to progressing to a pre-school rec program at a gym, to a move to a more competitive gym and placement on the pre-team. Through it all she has maintained a love for the sport and a desire to be at the gym all the time and learn new things.
I am just taking it one day at a time with her right now. She seems to love it and has fantastic caring, fun, and motivational coaches. I am excited to see her progress but also cautious about becoming an over-zealous gym mom and wanting it more than her
I am most excited about the fact that gymnastics gives her an athletic outlet that she loves, while teaching her about the value of hard work and commitment in order to progress and improve. DD is very bright and school comes easily to her right now- so I like the challenge that gymnastics gives her- it is something she knows she has to work very hard at, while school, for now, her successes come easily (she just finished Kindergarten and will begin 1st grade in the fall).
Other than gymnastics we enjoy swimming, biking, skiing, and all things Disney as a family. We are currently planning our third visit as a family to Disney World- we love vacationing there!
I am excited to learn more about gymnastics and have some questions answered too!
