Gymnastics

LLast year when Mags got sick she stopped gymnastics.  Really, she couldn't even walk, let alone do gymnastics!  She said she was not going to go back.  I think she was just scared she would not be able to do it anymore.  After much thought and time, she decided to go back.  It was not easy.  She cried; I mean really cried, like yelled and screamed and threw fits, every time I would try to drive her (she did do a demo class she loved, but then changed her mind).  I have to say, I did not really blame her.  She knew no one.  At one point I even asked to get my money back, I mean it was that bad.

Well, it is the end of December and she is loving it.  She had a little Christmas party and show before Christmas.  I thought she might not want to go, but she did.  She was so excited and happy and running around with her friends.  She loved it.  She even gave her coaches their gifts, which is not like her.  She does not like to draw any attention to herself ever.  We were more proud of her for that than her performance on the mat.
