DD is loving Level 4 and it's so great to see her excited and so happy. I know there has to be someone else on here that had a child who was part of the team, but couldn't compete due to their age. I'm curious how you dealt with it so your child still felt like they were part of the team.
I was thinking we would go to all of the meets to cheer her friends on especially since they are all local. It won't cost much, just gas. Did you order the team leotard and warmups? They do a few mock meets where they wear the leotard to the gym and practice competing and I'd like her to do those. Then they do pictures as a team so I figured I'd better go ahead and get the leo. With my luck they will change leotards by the time she competes, but she can always wear it for practice.
I honestly don't think she will mind not competing. She's pretty shy and I think she's too young to really understand.
