First, I want to say congrats to everyone competing at their State Meets. Best of luck to you all!!
As many of you know we had a rough season. Starting with Beetle losing her BHS on Beam at the beginning of the season. Then chasing our high State qualifing score (35.0) all year.
She ended the year on a high. A great final meet.
After that meet she was thrilled. She was so excited. And We were so happy for her. I was worried that she would be mad because she Just missed qualifier.. but she wasnt she was excited. Which was quite a relief! To leave a meet happy not angry!
Well, This weekend is our State Competition. DD's Gym has a send off each year for the girls who qualified for state. Beetle came home in tears. Just sobbing (some of this is 12 year old girl emotions). It is sooo hard to see her that way. she was crying because she said 'I wanted to be up there, representating my gym...' it is heartbreaking!
We spent and hour trying to talk her down from crying. Reminding her what a great end of year she had (she ended up with the highest AA score of all the L7's and L8's in our gym!) It is so hard for her to see those highlights... Hopefully in the next couple weeks she will be able to see the positive's of the year.
I dont really know why I am posting this post.. Probably more of a vent and a thanks for listening! Which is why this site is so great, I am sure many of you have been in this situation before!
Thanks for understanding!
