Parents Thank the gym gods!

Dd's gym was closed for a week and a half, literally a day after she did her very first back walkover on the high beam without any pads. If you know anything about my dd, you know she's on the "sloth track" and skills take a long time to come. Not walking into a gym for 10 days after doing a skill for the first time would be completely the worst. thing. ever. in most circumstances.

Miraculously, her back walkover did not go away! Gym started back up this week and she got up on that beam and nailed her 10 back walkovers like nothing and moved on. I'm SO relieved. It continually amazes me to see what skills come easily for her and what skills become stinky. I've given up trying to predict it (well, kinda... sorta...).

Now if only she could figure out the grips...

Woot! I so get that. It just sucks when a skill is nailed on a friday.....you never know when it will show up again, lol!

 

[UnoMas]

Oh man. So cool that she could still do it. I totally understand!

It seems every time I get something figured out.... It changes.

That is awesome. I also have a sloth like girl. She just moved her BWO to high beam with a spot

This is my favorite advice to give to new parents. I guess it works for gym parents too! And life in general!
