Here I sit enjoying the quiet of a house full of sleeping family. I am gearing up for a day full of gymnastics fun! It's off to the Wild Wild West Meet in Bridgeville. I am crossing my fingers that Mackenzie will do her very best as I am worried that she's feeling a little deflated this season. I know it's tougher competition with more difficult skills and as an adult that makes sense but to my 8 year old and her perfection psyche I don't know if she's getting that. She's very used to getting first place one most events and typically first place All Around. I just worry that if she ends not doing as well as she did in previous years that she will get down on herself. I know that she needs to learn that there are disappointments in life and you have to work hard for what's important to you and there are no guarantees - just not wanting her to have to learn it at such a young age.
So here's to a good showing today! And a happy little girl who qualifies for states today.
