Sophie's first gymnastics meet

It's actually a mock meet, but she is very excited and is anxious to wear her fancy new Shooting Stars team leotard.  She has her routines memorized, and I'm hoping the jitters don't make her forget everything when it's her turn to compete.



And please please please pray that I won't turn into one of those Toddlers & Tiaras type of moms..... I don't *think* I will, but that is truly one of my biggest fears.  Seriously.  I hope somebody just knocks me upside the head if I utter a single word to Sophie about pointing her toes or saluting the judges.  I once saw a dad (yes, a MAN) attempting to demonstrate to his daughter how to point her toes and how to salute.  I still make fun of him to this day---- but only behind his back, of course.  ;-)

Um, have you seen the Tom Hanks Toddlers in Tiaras parody? It is to die for.

Good luck, Sophie! Aaand (whispering *very* quietly) my son asked me to practice pointing toes with him tonight before bed in preparation for his dance recital tomorrow. Don't tell anyone. ;)
