    Parents Gift ideas?

    I love the two options above:) I got my dd a leo for her American Girl doll last year, so if she has an AG girl that would be cute! We also did the flannel pants and fleece sweatshirt w/gym logo to wear during warm-ups in the winter!

    Parents How do you celebrate after meets

    We go out to eat and some of the team always goes with us. We also always buy a small(and I do mean small like a candy bar) gift for our dd, I think it takes a lot of guts to get out there and compete no matter the results they should celebrate their hard work:)

    bad headaches when working out very hard - not water related

    My daughter was having the same issue and the doctor did a urine test to make sure she was not dehydrated, she was not. We then went through her day and realized she was not eating nearly enough calories for the amount they burn at gym. My dd is not a big eater she eats six times a day but the...

    So THAT'S why russian coaches are so effective

    My dd's coach is Romanian and she will tell my daughter something and when she does not fix it she says it to her in Romanian and my dd fixes it immediately. We joke she know Romanian better then English:)

    Tumbling with eyes closed

    I do not know if my dd tumbles with her eyes open or not but last year she kept missing the high bar when jumping to it, one day she got it she was so excited!

    Parents Think she'll get it?

    My dd did level 4 last year and it took her a year and half to get her bhs I thought she would never do it by herself:) She got it right before meet season.

    Parents What other activities do your children participate in?

    During the school year we do gymnastics only and church activities. My dd likes her down time to play(she is only 8) and she likes on non-gym days coming home and goofing off.
