Go for the GOLD.

I have always known that Delanie has amazing upper body strength, but what mom wouldn't think that their own kid is awesome at everything, but when Lanie's dance teacher told me that she really should really use her talent and go into gymnastics, I knew something had to be done, for this was coming from more than me, or Nana, but a public professional.

So, for Lanie's birthday, we signed her up, but didn't expect to be on a waiting list...come on people, she has raw talent that needs to be used. ;)

Finally, after what seemed like forever for Delanie, a spot became available.

So, after 2 weeks, she is doing great.

The teachers are impressed by her ability and strength, but if she would gain a bit of confidence, then amazing things would happen.

Who wouldn't trust another to catch you in mid back handspring? I know I would have a hard time with it.

So, with the dollars and time each week that I am willing to give up for Delanie, I am sure gold is in her future, but till then, her mom as her biggest fan will have to be the next best thing.
