My daughters 2nd competition

[xstitchcarina]

This one was just over 1 month ago. She ended 9 out of 9, but did better than the other competition, had more points and she didn't land on her behind with the handsprings. And that was the goal of that day. You should see a difference in her from the 1st competition.

I really enjoy the videos everyone posts here...it give me something to look forward to when my daughter competes. I know in the intros you said you were from Holland and were asking about the levels here in the USA. It looks like your daughter is doing alot of the skills my daughter is doing as a level 4. I have no clue what they are all called yet. She just started & just turned six so she can't start to compete until next year I believe. My daughter can't even make that big leap to the higher bar (she's pretty tiny)so you're daughter does very well, LOL! Congrats to you & your daughter on you're first competitions...she looks like she is having fun!

I love the videos too! What a great way to share information this is . Carina, I think it was so wonderful of you to share, your daughter is such a lovely little girl and an adorable gymnast she will only get better and better!

Sharon, mine is a young one too, our gym does not compete under level 5 so we have another year and a half or longer to go, but as someone else posted in another forum "its all about the journey"... and it is great watching them blossom along the way.

Nice to "meet" you!

I agree, it is nice to see what is coming up for us too! I love watching the older girls in the gym the same time my daughter goes. When she is in the back gym (and I can't watch,lol) I enjoy watching them practice their skills! They are so beautiful & talented I am in awe of even the level 5's. Any parent should be so pleased & proud of their children who do this sport.

She is a cutie!

Amazing how much they can improve in such a short space of time. In a year you will look back on these videos and be amazed at her achievments. My girls like to keep a diary of their new skills and comp scores. my oldest daughter likes to look back on how she did. The youngest likes to work out how she can do better than her older sister. Ah, the joys of childhood.

Keep up the good work of being a supportive mum.

Thank you very much...that was great. I have to get some some videos of my Maggie on here for you guys. Of course she's only 21 months old.

Thanks so much for your nice replies and the compliments. I think it is great to be able to show videos like that and be a proud mom. I assume you all watched the 1st competition too. Even from there, there is around 2 months in between them, I can see a big difference. Especially since she is missing some technique and basics. She only has been in the team since October. So we are very proud of her.

Blackie6, I like to watch the older girls. There aren't many though. Altogether we have 19 girls in the special team. 12 practise when Talitha does, which are 7/8/9 year olds and the older ones practise after them. I always watch on Saturdays and always stay around for a few minutes, while Talitha is getting dressed.

I guess she is not into gymnastics then yet. Bet you can't wait.

very nice to "meet" you as well

I love to watch the team girls in our gym too. we are a fairly new gym and all of our girls levels 5-10 warm-up together. They come in the 2nd hour of pre-team practice - they are all amazing. We will all have to keep in touch with our little ones...

I think it would be great keeping in touch, sharing about our girls. That was the main reason coming here for me. So any gymmommies feel free to email me, when ever you like.
