Another Fun Gymnastics Meet!

Today we went to Tomball for another gymnastics meet for Emily. We had to be in Tomball at 7:15, so that meant I had to get up at 4:00 this morning in order to get myself dressed and to have enough time to fix Emily's hair and eat breakfast. For her meets, it is required to have her hair in this gymnastics style bun. The bun takes me about 30 minutes to do and when finished fixing it, I have to sew it together with embroidery thread and a needle to secure it to her head. Crazy, I know!


Regardless of the early start this morning, Emily had another great meet. She got a 9.0 on her floor routine which was the highest on her team. All the girls at her level all have to do the same routine to the same music. It is always fun to watch her perform! We are so proud of how well she did again! Here is the video of her on the floor......



I also thought I would post her on the vault. The vault has always been very hard for Emily because of how short she is. At this level, the girls don't use the actual vault yet, but instead do the required skill by landing on a mat. The mat they have to land on is as tall as Emily, making it a little bit harder for her. Next year they will start using the actual vault and that will make me very nervous! But regardless she did well on the vault today...here is her video! Enjoy!
