Dedication

The dedication of some children truly is inspiring. These gymnastic cuties are well on their way to something big in the gym world because they have the dedication it takes to succeed. It is a good example for my children to see when these best buddies practice daily at home; on the grass, the trampoline, their downstairs home gym; wherever they go they blend in practice to their daily life. It is in their blood and their wall of medals showcase their talent.

We witnessed these sisters' State Meet last night and it was fantastic! Sitting high in the bleachers, home made signs waving, we could see the entire gym set up. Over here on Bars was one sis while the other was over there on Beam. I could feel the nerves of my friend as her spunk of a girl was springing, jumping, and twirling on the 4 inch wide, 4 feet tall beam; barely 4 feet herself. The back flip type of dismount is the scary part, will she clear the beam? A sigh of relief and then cheers.

The dedication of home schooling to allow for twice daily practice sessions all week long, the dedication of integrating friends into their girls' life to ensure normalcy, and the dedication to strong family time in between is what keeps these two grounded and well rounded. They are in love with their sport and their life. Well done, friends!!
