Good Luck! I'm sure she will do great!

On a side note. Be glad she has decided to take her gymnastic skilles elsewhere. I was a gymnast for 14 years and it is VERY hard on the body. It finally ended with I hit my ankle on the uneven bars and woke up in the hospital with pins and rods sticking out. I broke so many bones, tore so much cartlige, and twisted so many things I lost count. It's a great way to stay in shape and great for lil girls but I would never recomend it long term. It also make you extremtly flexable which can come in pretty handy at times.   

GOOD LUCK MISS KAITLYN!!!  Cheer hard, be safe and HAVE FUN!  There are BIG, BIG, good vibes coming your way from my family in Colorado! 

I'm sure she'll do great!  I know that nervous feeling...my son and hubby are doing another karate tournament this weekend and I'm ALWAYS sick to my stomach when they compete.  I don't really care if they win or lose, but I just HATE for one of them to get off the mat feeling bad about how they competed.  But, the last two tournaments my son came home with trophies and he is getting better and better at his competition kata all the time. 

Let us know how she did, and post pictures too!

KM,

You are so right...I tell them that whenever they think of quitting!  Both of my kiddos test for high green belts this Wednesday, hubby will test for brown.  I just hope they will hang in there to get their black belts.  It has been so great for them, healthwise, discipline wise, etc.  It's also just SO cool to watch my daughter go in there and kick butt!!

My daughter HATES to compete (she gets herself sick due to nerves), but she is SO good....watching her and her dad do kata gives me chills.  My son gets himself pretty nervous and will get teary eyed if he doesn't do well, but shakes it off right away and moves on to the next event.  He trophied in sparring and grappling the last two tournaments, so he's hoping he can place in kata this week. Unfortunately that's one of those events that is SO subjective..hard to know what the judges are really looking for.

Look at me babbling on like a proud mom/wife...  Just wait until Kula starts agility training this summer...y'all will be begging me to zip it!!

She made it! She made it!  We are so excited for her.  She was in a room where I could watch her to begin.  They named off a few things for her to do.  She did a front hand spring, than she did a round off into a back handspring and she nailed both of them.  Than she did a a toe-touch. She did a few other things also but I was dealing with the baby at the same time so I missed a couple of tumbles. I over heard one of the coaches say, She's really good!  Her dad and I were so excited of course.  Next she went over to another judge and the judge taught her a cheer.  Than she went into a room where I couldn't see her and she did her cheer she was working on and her new one.  Apparently she nailed them, or so I heard from one of the coaches.  She said she thought she did really well.  They will start practice in June and begin competing in September.  I took a few pictures of her tonight.  I'll try to post them tomorrow.

Kaitlyn also does Tae Kwon Do.  She seems to enjoy it.  However, she doesn't want to go to the tournaments.  I told her she didn't have to.  She has a high purple belt.  She's just getting started.

She also does ballet.  She's a very busy little girl and I'm a very busy mom running her from here to there.  I don't push her into these things.  She chooses to do them on her own.  Cheerleading will start taking up another day in June and 3 days a week in September.  I told her she would have to give something up.  Possibly more depending on what days her cheering is.  Right now she does ballet and Tae Kwon Do in the morning because she has afternoon kindergarten but next year she'll be going all day in first grade so something will have to go.  I just don't have that many days in the week for her.
