Kadee is having her second meet of the season this friday. Yes I have to pull her out of school a couple hours early AGAIN!! I may really have to rethink this competition thing if it becomes a habit. I will ride it out this season (only have 2 more meets after this one, four in total) but I do not want it affecting her schooling if she continues in the sport. (here I go again with the what-ifs. Sorry..lol)
That being said. Send her all the applause fairies you can. That seemed to be the thing that ment the most to her, other than her HC giving her a big hug and high 5 after her beam routine (they had them mounting and working the beam from the opposite end than she was used to...she mounted the end they wanted, just facing the way she was used to..silly girl. But she didn't let it get to her, just turned around and went about her business). HC told us after meet that Kadee told her before the bars not to spot her, because she wanted to know the scores she got were hers. I think that is why she got 1st on beam even after her wayward mount, because she wasn't spotted on any of it.
I hope she always keeps that simple view of things. When she was done with her first competition she said. "Mommy, did you hear? Everyone clapped for me." (the true diva coming out?..lol)
She's very excited about her upcoming meet. She gets to travel for this one, 2 hrs. So she thinks that makes her a "big girl".
So keep my "big girl" in your thoughts, and send any extra clapping fairies her way.
