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!
My dd went through the same thing this summer. She had a beautiful cartwheel in January(she got it on her first try) then she had a bad fall in March and she never did another one till September,ugh! She would purposely kick her leg out to not be able to make it on the beam. Her coach worked...
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:)
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...
I asked my dd these questions:
1-What is your favorite apparutus? (Beam, Bars, Vault or Floor) Bars
2-How many years have you been doing gymnastics for? 3
3-At what age did you start gymnastics? 5
4-What is the heighest score you have ever got? 9.5
5-How many meters do you run from for vault...
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:)
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! When we got in the car she said "it is so much easier to catch the bar when you leave your eyes open" yes she had been jumping with her...
My dd went there for the first time this year. I also went with her and thought it was great! She is training level 5 and picked up a lot of her lvl 6 skills. She learned front tuck off the beam, back tuck on floor, bwo on beam, lvl 6 dismount, and something on vault I cannot remember the name:)...
Lol! I am laughing because just this week my dd who is 8 came into the room and her shirt was so tight across her shoulders in the back I thought I had shrunk the shirt! I can only imagine how much harder it is going to be to buy her clothes in the future!
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. It was not pretty at practice but at meets because of the excitement she would rock it every time. So hang in there she will get it! My dd...
I cannot answer the kip question my dd is also trying to get the dreaded kip! I can answer the gym question. My dd's gym up-trains on every event. She is training level 5 but she is working on her bwo on beam, back tuck on floor, front punch on floor, something on vault not sure of name and some...
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. In the summer she takes dance. I think it is good to know what works for your child, mine would not be happy going to an...
I had a harder time then dd when we switched gyms! We have been at "new" gym over a year now and I love it! Hang in there it is hard breaking into the gym mom group but you will:)
