Now I know there have been threads about what your kiddos have learned by being gymnasts. But I was just wondering what you as a parent has learned about being a parent of a gymnast.
I have learned alot. Im sure I will think of more after I post this. But here is my first list..lol
1) I have learned that in some situations..just because Im Momma, doesnt mean I always know best. I pay these people to do their job..and I need to step back and trust them. (When it comes to gymnastics they know more than me...lol)
2) Ive learned that laughter through tears is one of the most wonderful feelings in the world.
3)Ive learned that when they get hurt, or sick ect..and they no longer want "Momma to kiss it and make it better" that is very bitter sweet.
4) Ive learned that gymnastics have been a blessing to my DD in more ways than I could ever count. (and I will do everything possible to support (money wise, physicaly, mentaly..ect) her in this for as long as she wants to do it).
5) Ive learned that kids see things/people for exactly what they are. And not what others have built it up to be..good or bad.
6) Ive learned that kids are one of the best judges of character. (because of number 5)
7) Ive learned that children with big feet do NOT have better balance. And that they are also not like puppies and grow up to be big adults..lol
