Proud Parent
I never ever thought I would be SO happy about one of my children scoring a 28.25 AA! But I am today. My little DD is in her first L4 season and she has struggled a lot which we knew she would. She has overcome many obstacles including many developmental delays as a toddler and preschooler and now still deals with low muscle tone and one sided weakness. Anyway...here is the brag part. Our one goal for the season for her was to score a 28AA so she could go to the L4 state meet (I know, it's a low score requirement!). However at her first meet in January she got a 24...so we figured there was no way she was going to make it. We set other goals like doing her beam dismount by herself, fixing her leap pass, etc. Well today she DID do that beam dismount and improved her beam score by over a point. She also improved her AA from a 26 something to a 28.25. I was jumping up and down hugging people and no one understood why some mom was going crazy over her kid scoring a 28...but it was me and I know how far she has come! Today was her last regular season meet and her last chance to make states and she did it! I am one proud and very surprised mom!
Older DD had a good day too. She had her personal best L5 AA score of 34.45 and earned her first 9 on beam with a 9.175. She placed 5th out of 26 on beam and I think 9th on bars with a 8.85. Did not make it out of the 7's on vault (7.85), but hey, she met 2 out of 3 of her goals for the day. I got all 3 events BUT beam on video...was too nervous to watch beam and forgot to pass the camera on to DH. Bummer because it was her best beam routine all year. I hope to get some video up soon (I say that a lot). Anyway thanks for reading and for the good luck thoughts and wishes. The girls had some great personal victories today!
