Since most peoples seasons are over, lets answer a fun question......
How did your dd get into gymnastics? Did you every do gymnastics? Would you do it all over again?
My answer:
Emma got into gymnastics pretty much by accident. I have no gymnastics experience, but always loved watching it on TV growing up. A neighbor asked her to take a class with her dd when Emma was in Kindergarten. She really liked it, but couldn't even do a cartwheel. Mastered the cartwheel in 1st grade. Fast forward a few years, the team coaches noticed her and asked her to be on the team. She competed L4 in 4th grade.(i know, shes an old lady). Today she is in 8th grade and just finished L8 (at least for the first time)
Would I do it all over again? I think I would. I wish it wasn't a sport that consumed their lives, 20 hrs a week, 50+ hours a week, I wish we could sit around the dinner table as a family, I wish it wasn't such a mental and pressure filled sport. But along with the bad, comes a lot of good. She really loves this sport. She also ran track for the first time ever since L8 season ends early here. She really liked track, but said to me "its not like gym, I couldn't imagine doing this all year". lol
