LoL! Little kids are easy if you know how to deal with them XD and definitely very high energy!
little boys and little girls occasionally feel like completely different species
There are some really nice leotards out there with price tags to match! I remember one of the now-retired gymnasts saying how she "accidentally" bought the gorgeous one she was wearing to training that day XD
Our club does artistic gymnastics (the one with the multiple apparatuses) and only club levels (we do have interclub comps with other clubs). There's quite a bit of crossover with dance for the girls. Gymnastics and dance together would be quite expensive especially if you're doing state/national levels x_x
The backstage shenanigans do sound familiar from the one time I did it and also like the leadup to all of our end of year displays XD
Oh no how have the kids pulled up D:
kids are a box of dancing ducks.... but i have come dow with the Influenza A yesterday... so that is great timing... supposed to be making gift hampers for the concert and helping with prizegiving set up tomorrow... cries.... concert saturday. I'll be right... show goes on despite the fact that 50% of the studio has Influenza A....
so despite some coughs and a bit worn out they are now fine... you know you know when the kids are better when the start having energy to fight!!!
yeah gymnastics is expensive as like dance there are large contact hours at the studios... i alwasy used to think it was crazy how many hours they did at the gym... then now with my kids dancing im like... oh yeah... that DOES happen...
Oops I thought I double posted and was trying to delete the duplicate and away went the whole comment into the depths of the blockchain somewhere XD
I was just saying how that's probably how half the studio came down with influenza A with the show going on XD
Glad the kids are getting better and hope you're not far behind :)
