Awesome. Now she might understand the work shes gotta put in to learn them. At least shes got a goal lol

DD 5 has asked me when she will be able to learn some things after watching comp girls in pratices. She is level 1 so I know shes got a bit to go. Since we are both fairly new I'm not completly sure, so any help would be nice... 1. Standing on low bar, jump to high bar, back hip circle and...

Nets been down for a it so kinda old news. 5 yo DDs gym had open gym that parents could get on the equipment, with a signed waiver of course. So I told DD since she always wants me to get on the equipment with her. She decided to "teach" me.... bad idea to agree. Stretching then the fun begins...

I didnt let her go back into the gym until I got her nose to stop bleeding and was cleaned up. I was wondering if they just let parents decide. Or any facial injury usually meant they had to sit out. Like somr football teams require.

Whats the norm after a girl getting injured? Last night 5yo DD was playing on the basketball court side of the gym waiting for her rec class to start. She did a face plant on the floor 5 minutes before class and bloodied her nose. Took her into a room so other girls wouldn't freak out. After a...

Things went better than I imagined. I think it took her a day to really understand after many strange questions. Wanting to take her real stethascope to check his heart, explained she couldnt because his heart stopped and wouldn't beat again. Poor DH was home when she asked if her uncle was like...

We told her a bit ago. Shes sad of course. Asked if he still gets snow too lol. If Annie his dog and her aunt were dead too :'( I know its hard for her to understand right now. And will understand a little more at the viewing. No service, and cremated. Ive already warned DH not to tell her they...

DH wants to tell her since it was his brother. Think it may help him too. She stayed at my moms last night since she had already planned to days ago, gave everyone time to settle down and her at least not in the chaos. We will be picking her up in a little bit. I know its gonna break her heart...

Very off topic.... My 5 yo DD's uncle just died a few hours ago. I dont know how to tell her without confusing her. She sees him all the time because we live next to each other so its gonna be hard. Can she understand death even?

As long as shes excited I dont what skill she does. Jump, cartwheel, hand stand. Its all new for her so thats enough.

New DD got to pratice jumps on the comp beam. First time doing them, and all I heard from her is "I DID IT!!! I DID IT!!! COACH I DID IT!!!" Loud enough for everyone to hear of course. Yes its a level 1 jump but nothing better than the big smile she had. I dont think shes gonna quit gym anytime...

I couldn't help laughing at DD during pratice last night. Coaches had them on beam Its her favorite of course. Anyway after being able to walk on tiptoes, step-kick, and side step they let her and another girl go from the 3 ft beam to the full height. Next they tried putting their foot in the...

Theres only 2 gyms in the area, the other has worn equipment. DD's grandma offered to drive her to pratice if she wants to keeps going. So at least I've got a great mom who will help out. We'll see where it goes.

The new HC has changed pratice times, days, and how the girls are seperated. Before DD only got 1 hour a week pratice grouped with 5-6 year olds learning level 1 and 2 skills. And I'd let her go to open gym twice a week for 2.5 more hours cause she loves to be there. The new pratice times give...

New HC just changed classes and pratice times 3 weeks into DD starting. 2nd hour a week optional... rec lvl 1, 2hrs wk $85 per month. Annual membership $25. Insurance $25. $5 open gyms 1.5 hrs. when she wants to go on Saturdays
