Alissa and Molly were in a gymnastics competition this weekend to end their year of gymnastics. Molly competed with her own level this year instead of with Alissa's level and it turned out to be great! She did fantastic! The performed on the bar, beam and floor.
She ended up doing a back walkover for her very first time. Adrenalin was pumping I guess. When I talked to her about it afterward she said, "I just decided to try it." ha! I guess you can surprise yourself if you will just try huh? Love this kid!!
She ended her competition getting FIRST PLACE OVERALL! We were so impressed and excited for her! I hope she always remembers this day and it helps give her the confidence that she is amazing.
Alissa's competition was much more competitive. I also think she was much more nervous because of that fact.
She gets to be in gym with some of her best friends. Alora, Marie & Lia and another little girl Lucy has joined them this year. They all have some pretty impressive skills.
LOVE THESE TWO GYMNASTS
Alissa ended up getting first place on floor which is basically the same as getting 4th place overall. The coach said the scores were really close but Alissa was just fine with it. I could tell she was a little disappointed for a little bit while driving home because she was a little emotional but she snapped right out of it. We are trying to decide what to enroll her in next year because she is pretty skilled in gymnastics and loves it so much. She can do her round-off back handsprings already which I think is pretty amazing for a 7 year old. We will see what the future holds for this little athletic kid.
