Drew's Gymnastics

Drew on the bars

Drew doing the vault, her new favorite!

Drew had her big gymnastics performance today! I don't know when I have been more excited (her Christmas performance for school, probably...).

Her entrance!

Doing the balance beam!

Bear crawl on the bars!

The uneven bars! :)

TA-DA!

Straddle rolls 

I don't remember what this one is called...

and the bow!

She was wearing her awesome new leotard and looked amazing! She was so ready and had practiced so hard! What happened next will NOT happen when she reaches the Olympic level, I am certain... I don't want to say she "choked" per se... She had watched a class before her and was fine, she walked out onto the floor with her class and was fine, and she sat by the bars, waiting her turn and (we thought) was FINE. She turned to look at us, and her whole face was red trying to choke back tears! It was SO sad! Our shy girl didn't know what to do with all of those people watching her! She ran over to me and we talked to her and told her that the other people were there watching their kids, but we were the only ones watching her. She recovered nicely and was able to do all of the performances while only being mildly distracted! :)

She did have a minor wardrobe malfunction and Ms. Becka was very helpful and discrete for the most part but I was able to catch this shot! And the video below further shows off her mad skills AND cute tush-magee!
