Thank you everybody. To answer, she currently has a PEG tube (G-J) and she will get her button next month. Her GI doc will not allow her to return until August and her coach says he thinks she can do all 4 events but, if it becomes permanent, she may eventually have to stop competing bars. She...

I know it's a long shot but if anyone is, or knows of, a gymnast who competes despite being fed through a tube in the stomach, I'd like to hear from you. After completing her first gymnastic season, my 8 year old got very I'll very quick. She was hospitalized for most of April and May and...

That is awesome! She looked great and so full of confidence! Congratulations to your DD on a well-deserved win!

For the past 3 years, my DD has, by choice, drank nothing but water. No juice, no soda, no capri suns or milk, just water. When we took her to the ped for heat intolerance last spring and her bloodwork showed her electrolytes were out of balance, her ped told me to give her Gatorade when she...

Awesome! It is so great to see them learning new skills! Way to go! Hopefully, it was just a coincidence that she accomplished these things while you were away. ;)

I am glad the coach is taking this seriously and nipping it in the bud! I hope the little offender got the point and it doesn't happen again!

It looked great and it sounds like she has certainly worked hard to accomplish all she has! Congrats to your little monkey! :D

What a talented and beautiful girl she is! I am glad she found a gym she likes and fits well with.

DD is level 3/pre-team. L3s and L4s practice together. When they practice the front walkovers coach always tells them if they can't do the FWO to "just do a front limber." Well, tonight DD had her mat out and was practicing some basics. Then she said "Mom, I think I can do the front...

Awesome and hilarious! DS, DD and I were rolling laughing while watching! Thanks for sharing! :D

My DD also has a very high metabolism and she eats more than I would expect from someone her size, but she's not gaining weight so I let it be. When she snacks, though, it is usually yogurt, shrimp cocktail, carrot sticks, string cheese, apples, etc. She is VERY health conscious about her...

I think you handled it wonderfully! Walking away is probably the biggest insult you could serve, anyway- bigger and better than any words you could have said! That is just no way to behave, IMO!

Funny you mentioned this! My DD is pre-team (moved up 4 weeks ago) and has been in gymnastics for about a year. DS just started a boys' beginners class 3 weeks ago. The boy's team/pre-team practice as the same time as girl's team/pre-team and DS's class practices for one hour with the boys'...

Thank you all for your advice and for your stories reminding me we're not alone! As an update, she seemed better when I picked her up from school yesterday. I watched her walk on it without say anything to her just to see how she did and she looked fine. Another mom noticed in class though...

DD was practicing tuck jumps on her mat at home last night. She practices every night on her mat and has never had a problem. But, last night, she landed a jump heel first (not even sure how she did that!) and immediately fell to the ground screaming. This morning, she still would not bear...

...but do boys and girls compete at the same meets or are they separate? I know they don't compete against each other but do they have male and female events at the same meet?

I am very impressed with how she went on to do so well after being disappointed by the bars. She clearly has talent, drive and determination. Her floor routine wowed me!

I kinda worry about my DD being like this- she is VERY hard on herself and will break down in tears if she doesn't get something right away! I have spent a lot of time telling her "its just a sport" ;) and reminding her that she needs to enjoy herself and the reward she gets from knowing she...

DD and I watched this tonight and then had to look at some of her other videos. She is really talented. DD was quite impressed that she was "only 6" and could do everything so beautifully. A very talented little girl, indeed. :)

Thats awesome! SOunds like all her hard work paid off!
