Soothing Shrimp Posted November 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Looks like Nadia has had an off day today. She'll have four weeks to rest up until the cup meet. Hopefully my 6 yr old will be healthy next time. Nuthatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Update, looks like even though those weren't her best scores- she still walked away with 3 medals for beam, bars, and all around.

Wygglz Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Wow! Go Nadia! Congratulations. I'm sure you are a proud dad. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuthatch Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Good for Nadia! She needs a way to display all the medals she's winning. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Thanks! I guess I'll need to display them somehow in her room. What a nice problem to have. She can do much better and get better placings, but for the two weekends she went when she did not feel good, well heck- I'm proud of her just for that. And as I tell her, I'm proud of her whether she does gymnastics or not. She doesn't need to win my attention, she already has it. heh Nuthatch and sarah 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 So every meet has different medals. Interestingly enough, not all are round. I'm so used to seeing round ones in cartoons and pics, this was a bit unusual for me. LOL Here's Nadia's medals from this past meet: jem_xxiii 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 She has been out sick from school yesterday and recharging her batteries today. She goes back to gymnastics practice today after skipping yesterday for health. Her twin brother started throwing up today though, so he's out from school today. ugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted December 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Nadia has a HUGE meet coming up in Indiana on Sat. She probably won't place at all, but should be a good experience for her. I think so far 1,400 gymnasts have signed up for the Hoosier Cup at the state fairgrounds. :-o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35ppt Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Wow, that does seem like a lot of entries. I must assume they have an indoor venue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuthatch Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Good luck to Nadia! Let's hope she stays healthy for this one, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted December 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Yep, indoor. Two rooms. So far she is healthy. Has a cough, but doesn't seem to bother her too much. I'm not looking forward to the 3 hour drive. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wygglz Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Btw, I have a 45 min commute each way for work. Audio books have helped save what sanity remains... Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Made it here safely with my wife and twins. 4am-ish right now my time, and waking up for the day... Wish us luck! Wygglz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Went to the Pineapple Classic Gymnastics Meet on Friday. Nadia was in competition again. Her teammate Isla broke her foot, unfortunately, the day before by doing a round off. But she was there with warm ups on (and a cast) cheering her team on. Here's Nadia's scores: Vault... 7.925 Bars.... 8.3 Beam.. 8.975 Floor.... 8.358 The bars were a roller coaster ride. heh She managed to stop and balance on top after her cut through. She had been having problems with that this year, and we breathed a sigh of relief because we thought she was home free. Then she went over the low bar twice instead of the under bar pike dismount. Each time was .5 deduction. She's never made that mistake before, and it cost her. She would have gotten 9.3 otherwise. The coach talked to us afterwards and said he may give her an optional dismount with a higher level of difficulty. I hope he does. It would continue to raise her all around score. The vault had me a bit concerned. The mat she had to flip onto was over twice as high as she was used to working with because they had higher levels there as well. It came up to her shoulder. The gym team was very unsure if they could do it...until the coach had the brainstorm to tell them if they did it successfully they would get candy. There was no looking back after that! LOL She won 3rd on beam!!! Yay!!!! She has the medal to prove it! LOL Kinda cool medal too. Custom made and looks like a pineapple. So she pretty much met or exceeded all her previous scores! It was a very good meet for her. A nice Christmas and Birthday gift to do so well. She walked away with 2 medals, and next meet is in January. Again, my heartfelt thanks for giving encouragement and support to Nadia! Each meet she asks me, "Did you tell the forum I'm going to the meet yet?" "Are they following along?" It really means "the world" to her knowing that people all over the world are cheering for her! Happy Holidays everybody!

Soothing Shrimp Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Nadia had a meet today, and the girls just had one coach there due to scheduling conflicts. Even that wasn't enough to keep Nadia down though. Wygglz and sarah 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 She has secured her spot to compete at state in March for level 2 now. Wygglz and Shrimple minded 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35ppt Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Funny, I was just thinking of Nadia earlier today. Looking forward to the next smiling face photo Soothing Shrimp and Nuthatch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
