What a nice, sweet, supportive group of friends your daughter has! That brought tears to my eyes. That really is an unforgettable moment.

Congrats on the kip too! What a great time to make your first kip LOL.

I'm glad so many of you enjoyed this story. I do feel very fortunate, and I think DD coaches have done a great job in teaching the girls to work as a team. I will try to post two pics (though it may not work as I haven't done this before). In the first you cannot see my daughter as she is in the middle of the hug! The second shows her muscling up on the high bar kip. It wasn't pretty, but you can see she was determined to get up!

That is just wonderful that she has such a supportive group of girls to be a part of a team with. It is funny I am noticing how some of those sweet girls from classes or pre-team are changing fast as they are now on team. It is a real shame. I am so happy for your DD.

How sweet! I think when these girls are together for so many hours they know each others strengths and weaknesses and really celebrate those moments that mean so much.

Last year at one of the last meets of the year one of L4's in my DD's 6 yr old group finally did her ROBHS by herself on the floor. So many times she made coach go out with her even though she was barely being spotted. The girls (and parents watching) were so happy jumping up & down we don't know how she finished her routine there was so much noise.

CONGRATS to your DD on her kip and I am sure those pictures are priceless!
