What are friends for?!?!?

[Bella's Mom]

A new girl moved to pre-team yesterday at Bella's gym. She's a late starter and is 10YO. When Bella came out, I was asking about her new teammate and she was telling me how nice the young lady is and how Bella "befriended" her so she wouldn't feel lonely. She said, "I made sure she knew when her knee was supposed to be straight and when her toes weren't pointed."

LOL

Bet the new teammate sure was glad to see the back of Bella! How absolutely annoying!

Reminds me when I joined the gym last year and my 8-year old buddy was "showing me the ropes." (Her words, not mine.) Funny!

The innocence of childhood! Your DD 's helpfulness shows off her great rearing and the fact that she has great role models.

How funny! I'm sure the 10 year old got a kick out of it!

 

[Bella's Mom]

*gulp* She didn't come back.

Uh oh, I hope Bella didn't scare her away! She was just trying to help. Last year, a level 4 told me how I could improve my backhandspring on tumble track... I wasn't very amused, but I guess it was funny!

Thats precious. And at Bella's age she is truely trying to help. Nothing more. There is no malice or bad intent with kids her age. (trust me i have one that age) They have no filter either and just say things as they see it. She was truely trying to help, because she wanted her "friend" to do the best she could. Im sure that the reason the other little girl didnt come wasnt because of Bella. Things just might not have worked out, she or her parents might have a problem with something, coaches, gym, road time, cost..ect. You should be proud of Miss Bella for taking the time out of her busy work out to help another. Shows just how kinda and caring she is. Kuddos to her.
