Wooo Hoooo She did it!

Elizabeth has been working hard at gymnastics and her last review said she was doing great.  The coach went on to say that she just needs a little more confidence doing the cartwheel on the high beam.   I heard from a team mate that she was very close to sticking one on Saturday.  So after voting tonight Ella and I rushed to gymnastics to watch.  At first Elizabeth struggled.  I think I made her nervous.  But, then she started sticking the cartwheel on the lowest beam (6 inches off the ground).  Then she moved to the next one and started sticking that one.  At that point Elizabeth was jumping she was so excited to try.  And she did it multiple times and stuck it every time!  I stood up from the watching room upstairs and raised my arms in cheer!  Then when Elizabeth came out from the gym I gave her more high 5s than I could count.  Elizabeth was beaming.  I am so proud of the hard work and it was a joy to be there to watch Elizabeth's confidence bloom.  Way to go Babe!  I am so proud of you.  You earned this with hard work and continued dedication even when you were not having fun and struggling.  You are amazing.
