Worried Mom

I am glad she got to move up to L4...it sounds like she was ready skills wise! If the hours seem too much after next week...perhaps you could ask to leave a bit early until school is out. If it is only 2 weeks until her summer break...you could practice just a bit shorter and then once your daughter has a break from school and can get used to the longer gym hours.

You guys are all so nice and so helpful! I appreciate everyone's input. DD actually told me this morning that her favorite part of her new schedule is the stretching and conditioning (They do and hour to and hour and a half)! She likes it because she knows it's making her stronger and because they do it at the beginning of practice rather than at the end. This means time for playing at the end instead. Funny how their minds work, isn't it? And last night the girls were jumping into the pit before practice. DD started off just running and jumping while the older girls were doing front tucks and layouts. By the time practice started, DD was doing front tucks into the pit, too. I LOVE having her with the older, higher level girls. They are being so nice and helping her and it gives her so much to watch and strive for.

Glad to hear she is having fun - just goes to show you - they adjust to change a lot quicker than us old folk ,lol.

Sounds like my dd's practice too. She went from (3) 2 hour practices to 3 (4-5) hour practices and she loves it. Time really flies to be honest with you.
It sounds like she is doing great and was really ready for the move.
