Parents Just a Proud Mommy!

[billise]

Might be DD's last meet before the state meet. Thought I'd try to share a video (never done this before so we'll see if it works). I know, I know, she's got a lot of deductions and a lot to clean up but I'm so proud of her and all her hard work. I couldn't imagine doing this stuff at age 6!!!

Nope, can't see it!

 

[billise]

Darn, I'll try again!

 

[AlexsGymmyMom]

I can't see the video

 

[billise]

Ok, let's try this again. Let me know if this one works

She did great!!! I'd be very proud, too! I'm with you.. Couldn't imagine doing that at 6.

Adorable! She did great too! Mine is 6 too, and I totally agree about being really impressed with these 6 year olds.

She did a GREAT job! I love her dismount! My daughter is 9 and doing Level 3, so for a 6 year old to be doing it - totally impressive. I hope she got her dessert of choice for that routine!

I love watching 6 year olds compete.. probably because my kids are younger and I still have a hard time imagining them doing that at 6!

I remember when DD was 6 (1st yr 4), I was just happy that she remembered her routines! Good job by your DD.

Awesome job! Great view for a meet too!

That was really good. It is amazing what these little ones can do.

Thanks everyone. She has had so much fun competing this season! I enjoy watching her so much that I usually forget all about watching for her scores so my older DD has to remember to write them down We really thought DD would still be doing pre-team this year so when she was moved up to team we decided to just relax and have fun. I hope every season is as fun and laid back as this one... But for some reason I doubt that will be the case

She did great! I can't imagine a six year old doing that either, but I just watched her! Awesome job!

We don't start competing until January, so can you tell me what she usually scores on beam? Somebody posted a bar routine on here a few weeks ago that I thought would be around a 9.4 and it scored an 8.9 so I'm a bit anxious!

 

[billise]

Well our compulsories compete AAU which I understand is more forgiving than USAG. This beam routine scored 7.850 which was her highest beam score so far. Her beam scores at our other meets were:

7.500
7.325
7.425

She's had no falls to date, just a lot of balance checks and form issues.

That is great! Thank you for replying! I was going to guess high 7, low 8 range. Love how she's improving! Enjoy the ride!

Thanks for sharing! She did great!
