On Sunday, Laura will perform in the Tiger Academy Invitational. It is a yearly event where the kids get to showcase their gymnastics skills. We had a near meltdown today as Laura realized that she didn’t know most of the routines. After a lot of talking to her, we finally settled on her going to her gymnastics lesson and asking for more help with the routines. I told her that if she still didn’t feel comfortable after her lesson, that she could make the choice to not perform. I did tell her that if she chose not to perform, I would not pay for her to participate next year. What a difference an hour makes! Before we left the gym, she said, “I’m doing the invitational Mom!” She even asked me to take a picture of her routines so that she could practice them at home. Go Laura!
