Non Gym
DS 17
Moved away to school
Managing his money, school and life without Mum
Using public transit (we live in the sticks)
Graduating high school well
Not being drunk, like his peers, at the schoolprom!
DD 13
Having her first summer job, painting 160 wooden posts for an old colonial house
Saving her hard earned money
Coping with getting glasses
DD 10
Learning to golf with Dad
Doing her first babysitting job (with Mom in house though)
Being one of 6 fifth graders in a 5/6 split and doing a great job.
Gym
Went to their first non French gym camp, IGC, made lots of new friends and had a blast.
DD 13
Once more showed her true spirit when injured at camp.
Working hard at her physio.
Accepting with grace that team mates are moving ahead of her.
Learning that in 10 years gymnastics won't matter and that her health is paramount.
Accepting her little sis in her training group well.
DD10
Showing that she will not be defeated when it comes to that kip, she never gets frustrated even though this skill is just driving everyone else nuts.
BWO on medium beam.
BT and FT dismounts off beam.
Flywaway off bars with a one finger spot.
Hmm and me.....
Learning to let go of DS and not to call him every 5 minutes.
Performing my first wedding ceremony, Oct 10th.
Learning that less is more when it comes to information.
Learning that we have our little ones for so little time. The best skills you can give them are self confidence and curiosity.
