Make that TWO new skills

[Ingymmom]

Ay yi yi Shawn... your dd looks like she is having a lot of fun, congrats to her on her new skills.

I am also begging just to be careful - especially w/the squat on @ home... only because I have seen PLENTY of mishaps in a padded gym with a coach with fantastic reaction time standing right there. I have just seen toooooooo many girls get their feet tangled or toe caught and come very close (would have had the fast reaction coach not have been there) to falling flat on their face. This skill seems easy, but one of those mishaps and your little talented cutie could get very scared of bars & say hasta la vista gymnastics - please, oh please just be careful....

I know. Luckily, she'll be outgrowing that bar before too long. She'll also be moving up to three days a week at the gym, which will leave less practice time at home. And, when she can do this stuff at the gym, she won't need to do it at home. This new gym is much more inclined to help kids learn new skills than our current gym. I'm hoping that will help her not feel the need to do so much at home.

Shawn- BIG congrats on your dd's progress. My gymnast has always found bars to be a challenge, so I understand more than most. Way to go!!!!!
