M has been in gymnastics since she was 3 years old. Now at 6 she is becoming quite the little gymnast. So far she loves it and rarely never complains about going to the gym and is always happy to go into class. This past year she has been on our gym's precompetition team or the 1st level for the precompetition teams. On May 31 all the girls on both levels put on a little show for family/friends to highlight all the skills that they have been working on throughout the year. M has been recommended to go to the next level which will mean more hours at the gym for her (and for me). Starting next week she will go about 9 hours a week and that will continue throughout the next year. If she continues to do well, she will then be able to start competing at a level 5 the following year. This summer will be a true test to see if she still really loves it. So far she is excited about moving up so I'm hoping that excitement will continue even when her practices are 3 hours long in the very hot summer. We are very proud of her accomplishments!!! Enjoy some photos of her show:
M and her blue team coach. M just loved her and she is one of the main reasons why M has enjoyed gymnastics and why M has done so well. Unfortunately, this is the last year she will be her coach until M is older and in the higher levels of competition. She is the gym's competition team manager and mainly coaches level 7 and above.

How exciting that M is doing so well and has found something she really loves! My girls are really getting into their activities now, and I can see increased hours at the gym and pool. How do you handle all those hours? And what do you do with E all that time while M is in practice? Things get complicated as kids get older...
