How funny. My DD has about 10 now. She loves sparkly leos and I have an EBay seller that I love and I buy most of her leos there, I wait until something she likes is for bid (as she sometimes only has Buy It Now auctions) and I get it, or I buy a clearance item. She has some others as well. GK fits her very well and she has several of those, one a hand-me-down and the other from the team leo sale last year that I got cheap. She loves to wear different ones and she loves choices.

I am so past counting leos. we have a googleplex of them !

Some we sell, some we pass on, some we lose. Some they never wear

.

Ah but they are lovely.

My daughter has 12 but she recently has given some away to her teammates even though I believe they still fit her. I was recently eyeing the new olympic ones from GK, they have a panda one and my daughter loves pandas as you can tell from my user name so I will have to get it, they also have some neat Shawn Johnson and Natasia leo's but they are kind of pricey. The funny thing is she will insist on wearing the same leos to practice over and over again. She also insists on wearing the leotard shorts so I just orderd 2 more pairs. They are so cute that they are hard to resist buying. Hopefully since she is training 5 days a week in the summer she will get some use out of them.

This is the exact reason I don't go crazy with leos. My dd has her favorites that she will wear over and over. When she gets a new skill or has a really good practice - whatever she's wearing becomes her new lucky leo and that is the only one she wants to wear for a while

I think DD has 5. This includes one that is still too big and her competition leo.

Twice a year we have used leo sales at the gym. Everyone brings in their used leos, labeled with their names and sizes. We sell them for $10 each. the money goes into each girls competition account. We usaully start selling when we host a meet and sell them in our boutique, then we sell the leftover ones during rec classes. The gym owner lets us do it for a week after the meet, then we pack up the leftovers and keep them for the next meet. It is an easy way to earn money without much effort. I usually earn at least $60 each time. Now that my daughter is older she doesn't out grow them as fast as she did several years ago.

LOL!!! My dd just started about 2 months ago and she already has about 9 leos! Yes, it can be addicting collecting all the leos as I am finding. I will take this as a warning to me!!!!!!

YIKES! I wish I hadn't counted...my dd has 41! She has worn a CM for the past 4 years so I think that is why we have accumulated so many. She rotates them in and out pretty good, but I did find a couple that I have not seen her wear for a while. I guess it is time for a sale

We have so many, but most are from our leo sale. It's a fundraiser for the team and everyone brings donates their unused or small leos and we sell them for $10.00. The kids love it.
