We had the farewell cake for dd2 yesterday, and then walked out of the gym.
Since lvl 7 state, dd2 has gotten her back tuck on beam, a front giant, a giant full, a tsuk vault, and on Friday, her last day in the gym, she did a baille. Things just clicked for her once she got to optionals. She'd be an awesome lvl 8. But, she's done.
I've said before that I don't get it; however, I refuse to be the parent who makes my kid do an activity. It's not like she doesn't know what gymnastics is like. She can decide for herself. She says she wants to be done, so she's done. It's just that right now I practically have to stuff my fist in my mouth to keep myself from trying to talk her back into the gym. I know I could, but I won't be "that" mom. (All right, I will admit to saying that if she was bored in a month or two, I'd bet they'd take her back.)
Any tips for helping me keep my big mouth shut?
