Go-Maisie-Go!!

Back on February 28 I posted a little video of part of Maisie's gymnastics team try-outs and I thought at that time she had done a great job. Well today we found out the results of her efforts and she didn't end up going where I had though she would. I had figured that she would move from Jr. Pre-team up to Pre-team but that was not the case. Nope, instead of going to another developmental team, my little gymnast was placed on the gym's USA Level 2 Competitive Team!! All I can say is that I am so very proud of my little girl, who just totally rocks!

Here's Maisie just home from her practice with chalk on her face, holding her team invitation letter. The letter states that 'USA Level 2 is a competitive training group and the program competes under the guidance and affiliation of USA Gymnastics. The girls learn routines designed by USA Gymnastics and participate in competitions with other gymnastics training centers in Georgia.' Holy moly, I can't believe that Maisie will be competing this year!! Maisie loves gymnastics and I hope that she loves and enjoys competing and does well with it. One thing I know that she'll love is that starting in April her twice weekly practices will be longer at 3 hours per day but for her, the more time at the gym, her favorite place to be, will make her a very happy girl.

It's actually been two days of good news for Maisie as yesterday she brought home her mid-term report card and she continues to do well at school. Her teacher states that Maisie is a very bright and conscientious student and that she really enjoys having Maisie in her class.



Go-Maisie-Go, you are A-MAISIE-NG!!
