Make It Happen

Make It Happen is the theme for the year for Lizzy's new gym. We decided to switch her gyms last week for a variety of reasons. Focusing on the positive, the new gym is more competitive, excellent coaches, one mile from the house, still lots of fun. Lizzy is adjusting well, ten days after switching gyms she was in her first competition last night. She loves her new long sleeve competition leo and all the hype at the new gym. They are very into the competitions and Lizzy is having fun with that. The funny story about the meet was really not so funny at the time, but here it is. They got tattoos to put on the corner of their face for the meet that said rock n roll, the meet was the rock n roll meet. So we had to put it on the right side of her face. Well, Lizzy was sticking it on her face going, right here, its got to go right here, so I grabbed the wet wash cloth and we stuck it on for a long time to make sure it would stick good. Took off the wash cloth, peeled off the back and my heart sunk. It was upside down. If you've ever applied a temporary tattoo to a child, you know there is no fixing it once its on. Lizzy had a relatively minor meltdown, and we decided an upside down tattoo was better than no tattoo. I guess you really couldn't tell, and she didn't get in trouble at the meet. Hey, you can't pick your parents, can you? So mommy screws up sometimes. Anyways, she had a fun meet, looked like she was very happy competing. Got her highest score ever on beam, 8.875, good enough for a medal! She seems to have transitioned quite well to the new gym. We think she will do well there.
