    Parents "Tucking in" a leotard

    My daughter often wears shorts/spankies with the leos that are a bit to big on the bottom. i have taken straps in on a few but she would NEVER accept a crotch/leg fix. :(

    Parents pragmatic/realist or dreamkiller

    I am a relatively new team parent. I have a 3rd grader who just finished level 3. I am by no means thinking she will get a scholarship at this point mind you it would be gravy! In all reality at this point I could put the gym money in the bank every month and have a great college fund for both...

    Parents Banners for team awards

    Our gym also displays them on the walls. They include all the current years. Banners seem to be a new thing around here. The gym has so many trophies there is no where to put them. At least old banners can be rolled up.

    Parents Fear on beam

    Oh i don't talk about gym unless she brings it up lol. I learned that early. But i was talking about she gets mad if i even ask her what she wants for dinner. I know eventually she will get over it. Same as back handsprings used to freak her out but that fear wasn't even a close one to...

    Parents How do you spend your time during practices?

    We have 3-3 hour practices a week. With traffic making it back home is not worth the wear and tear on my car or psyche lol. I don't want to spend 3 hours in the car for a 3 hour practice. There are a few team moms I sit and talk with. I am on our booster board so usually someone is asking me...
