Today was a crazy busy day. Julia had a gymnastics meet this morning and it was picture day at the dance studio. Try being in two places at the same time. Nuts. A wonderful mom helped me out this morning and took Gianna to her pictures. After the meet, Julia and I rushed over to the studio for her pictures. She missed her group tap picture which really bummed me out but she was able to make the jazz group picture. And I was able to get individual photos of both her dances so it all worked out in the end.
Here is her Tiger Team.
Julia has really, really improved with her level 4 routines. I'll try and post her vault and beam routine soon. Her floor routine was really good too but her coach was standing right in front of me the whole time so the video didn't come out good. And her bar routine was like 1000 miles away on the other side of the gym so no good video for that either. She made it through her entire bar routine all on her own with no spot! I'm so proud of her. She has been working so hard and it's really paying off! She'll be going 6 hours a week this summer so I can only imagine how much better she will be by the fall.
Her scores today:
Beam 9.10
Floor 9.10
Vault 9.0
Bars 8.6
She was so thrilled she got 3 blue ribbons this year!
Her flexibility just blows me away. And once again, she was one of the only girls in the meet who pointed her toes, had straight legs, used her upper body and had pretty arms and hands...
And Gianna had her gymnastics show this week. It was so very cute and she did a great job. They started with a dance routine and then did the beam, trampoline and a few obstacle courses. For as loud as she is you wouldn't believe that she isn't very brave. She gets so nervous doing new tricks. But I was so proud of her. She didn't want to do a forward roll on the beam but with lots of coaxing from her coach she did it...and it was great! She had the biggest smile and I could tell she was very proud of herself. She loved the medal she received. She especially loves how it changes color when you move it around. She even took it to Show & Tell on Friday.
So proud of my girls!
