Well, it finally happened. Kayla got her first gold medal this past weekend. And it was on BEAM! (she doesn't really like beam). she's over the moon. She set 3 goals for herself this competition.
Goal #1 - to do her kip on bars. She got it! Goal #2 - not to fall off the bars. She stuck it! (she's been falling off in practice for the past month or so) Goal #3 - to come first in something. Gold on beam!
I'm soooo proud of her. I'm trying to get her to set a goal for each competition so that it doesn't become all about how many medals you get, etc. And they have sooo much fun. She was that worn out yesterday that we watched 2 movies and she didn't do anything upside down until around 7 pm. Now that's a tired little monkey!
Here's the video clip that I made.

Determined is not the word. It's funny because at practice she is always goofing around and sort of just does her skills in a hap-hazard way. Then when she gets to competition all of a sudden this focused, determined child emerges. It's amazing!
