Gymnastics

Well it's Tuesday night, and what does that mean? It's gymnastics night!! The girls are getting ready for their recitals, and they are doing great! Ciara was scared of doing the beam, which I understand because she got hurt the other time. She was on one of the higher beams and she wasn't doing that well. She was scared to do a full handstand, her jumps, and her dismount. She changed beams for one that's closer to the ground and she did so much better! I guess she just has to take baby steps until she feels comfortable again. Ciara just got put into a competition level, and she is way excited that she gets to start to compete to earn medals and trophies. Ciara was doing her bar routine tonight and she did awesome, it was a perfect routine! She had it down pat for a while, but then something happened, I don't know what, but she got sloppy, but not anymore :)

Allison did great tonight also! She was working on the vault and the bars tonight. Usually when she does the vault, she either only jumps with one leg, or she completely jumps over the spring board onto the mat. Well not tonight! Every time she was up she did it perfectly! Then on the bars she did a back hip circle without any help! She was on a roll tonight! Her coach was so impressed and so was I! She is so close to moving up a level.

I am so proud of my girls! They are so awesome!
