My dd really scared me last night. She was at practice last night and wasn't feeling well. Of course she will never concede defeat - so like the little trouper she is she kept going. At the end of practice they were tumbling and she was doing her ro,bhs, back lay out and she somehow spaced out and in the middle of the back lay came straight down onto her neck. She got right up and said she was ok (her coaches weren't - it really scared them too). Anyway - she went right back to doing them. When she got home she ended up being really sick and spent the night throwing up every 20 minutes. I know some kids have fear issues to get over - with her I wish she had some more fear. Shouldn't they know that if they are sick they should take it easy and modify what they work on???? She wasn't fazed at all about the fall - me on the other hand had nightmares all night about her breaking her neck. She has never done something like that before with her tumbling (it is probably her strong point with gymnastics) - but the fact that she doesn't pay attention to how she is feeling and still goes for it scares me. Ok - I just needed to get that out - please excuse my typed rambling.
