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...

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...

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?

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...

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...

DD just started gymnastics classes 2 weeks ago. I took her to open gym before signing her up to see if she was interested in it enough for classes. She only goes 1 hour a week, and still wants to go to open gym. Its all ages and alot of the older girls are there. Call me paraniod but I usually...

DD had her first class. It wasn't what I was expecting for some things. I thought each group woukd be praticing at seperate times. Turns out they overlap classes so the place had about 30-40 girls plus the comp team all there at the begining, and by the time we left only the comp team was left...

Finally talked my other half into letting my 5 year old do gymnastics. Her preschool teacher told me I "had to do something" about her at school. During play time she climbed onto the playhouse roof to balance of course scaring the lady to death. Flipping over a trapeze bar okay normal kid...
