I think changing gyms has been the most stressful thing I've had to do this year. As you know we left just before nationals opting not to go when they fired DD's coach. As I feared things did get worse at the old gym with screaming, yelling and drama. So pulling her was the right decision. She's only 7 - it was her first nationals - not her last.
So at the old gym DD was youngest by about 4-5 years. She loved the girls and they carried her around. She got to do so much working out with them.
New gym she's with USAG level 5. She's not getting to do some of the more challenging things she was doing but . . . she's with a group of girls close to her age and having a blast! She's cleaning up basics and learning new routines.
Last night they all gathered around for *** drum roll please**** GRIPS!
They were so excited and they got them together and learned how to put them on and break them in etc. It was an event. This morning she wanted to take them to school . . . at 65$ . . wasn't happening LOL
She still wishes she could work with the level 6 or 7 - but that time will come and for now I am happy to see her having so much fun!
I use to worry she would "lose" skills but honestly I would think that once they started working them again they'd come back. Again, she's only 7 - whats the rush? right?
