Parents I am getting eyerolls from family and friends but

[jessmomto2]

I am proud of my little one so am hoping to get 1. a little yay for my little from someone besides me and 2. reassurance that being excited for her and her little accomplishments is normal and I am not crazy lol. My daughters class has being focusing almost solely on conditioning for about a month now, and today they started working on some skills which was exciting for dd. Well she hopped right up on the bar on did a pullover without any help which she has never really been able to do without quite a bit of help even a little over a month ago and now has her right and left splits. She also did a back handspring with a spot of course but almost all herself for the first time today (This of course was what she was the most excited about).

Those are both deserving of a big yay!!! and maybe even a woo hoo!!!

Big steps for a little one to make.

Good job!

Being excited for her little accomplishments is definitely normal! But you're still probably crazy.

Conditioning really makes a difference, doesn't it.

Aww, good for her! That is a big accomplishment!

in gymnastics, any whole skill learned is a blessing.

in gymnastics, any whole skill learned is a blessing.

Amen!
So congrats Jessmomto2 for dd's new learned skills and here's to many more happy moments

Congrats to your daughter! We all understand that these are big steps for her. A parent is the biggest cheerleader and supporter a gymnast can have.

 

[GymMom4]

That's exciting! We celebrate little victories, too.

 

[my4buffaloes]

Congrats, that is exciting!

Congrats! Those small things are the building blocks of the sport, so they are great accomplishments. I was just saying in another post that I vividly remember the day my daughter got her kip and even her pullover (which was also in a class). Just make sure your little one knows how proud you are - it means the most for many reasons beyond the gym.

 

[gymbeam]

congrats! i'd be excited, too!

 

[EllibugGymmie]

Woot! Congrats to her, such a big accomplishment! I always get super excited when the girls get a new skill, then come home and share with my dh, and he really just doesn't get it lol.

 

[Ali'sMom]

Congrats!!!!
and yes, very normal!!!
I've come to find out that nobody "gets" these accomplishments quite like other gym moms

 

[htimcj]

YAY! Those are great skills to get! Here's to many, many more!

 

[lemondrop]

Very exciting!!!

 

[paige]

Congrats to her!
I'm just as happy to watch my youngest perfecting a round off as watching my oldest perfecting her front tuck.
These little ones work so hard!

That is awesome. Sounds like the focus on conditioning paid off.

 

[jessmomto2]

Thank you guys glad I am not crazy because that is the vibe I was getting from family and friends lol. The conditioning definitely paid off I can't believe how much stronger she is in just a months time.

I love when they get new skills. I get all excited too. My dd is trying to get skills to move up to level 3 so she keeps telling me all the level 3 stuff they've worked on.

Congratulations to her! It is so much fun when they get new skills!
