UPDATE - she's got it back!
Thanks so much to all of you. Very few people understand the things we parents keep inside when we watch our daughters struggle! My daughter has her confidence back. She is doing great and going to compete all 4 events Saturday. All of you were right, I think...
Hi Parents,

Hi, I'm new to the group but here is a topic I know something about!! My daughter is schooled at the gym so I wash 5 leos a week (mostly Snowflake). At first, like some other parents, I treated them like gold, but now I just throw all the laundry in together. They have all survived just fine...
