It is relactively commonly known here that after every single meet I take my girls out for ice cream, often McFlurry's, but also Ben and Jerry's or Cold Stone etc. We are celebrating the fact that the meet is done and that we are moving on no matter what the outcome.
I have found that no matter how badly they have felt after some meets, that the ice cream has changed the whole day and we get home in a much better place. If the meet goes well it is just the icing on the cake, so to speak.
How do you celebrate? Do you celebrate? If you do, do you do it regardless of the outcome, or do you only celebrate only what you consider to be good meets?
I am moving into a new phase, littler DD will be doing cheer comps. Apparently the whole team travels together on a bus to wherever the meet is, and back home again. But as I will have to drive an hour to get her to the cheer gym we will still have plenty of time for ice cream on the way home.
