What a week!

Yikes, it has been over a week since my last post. Unfortunately I have been sick most of the last week, like really sick I don't ever get this kind of sick, go to urgent care, stay in bed, type of sick. Starting to feel a little teensy better. Drug myself to Lizzy's gymnastic meet because that is what mothers do. So, here is a video of her today. I was so proud of her when she had to vault with Derek as the coach, which she wasn't too thrilled about, only to get her highest score ever on any event, 8.75!!! I was proud of her when she missed her dismount on beam and remembered to get right back up and finish it right. I was proud of her when she nailed her floor routine and got her highest score there, can't remember 8. something. But I was most proud of her when she sat and watched all the medals awarded and didn't even look a little upset when she didn't win a single medal. She bounced out of the meet happy that she had done her best. That is what I am most proud of, for in today's world where everyone is taught they are a winner, and often winners and losers of teams get trophies, my daughter learned that she does not need to be on a medal stand to enjoy a good day doing what she loves with her friends, gymnastics.
