Yesterday was the State Championship at the Renton Community Center/Carco Theater It was a two day event but Mimi only had to be there yesterday. Man! Was it exhausting! We were there from just a few minutes past 8 till around 7:30 at night.
The girl did great! Fortunate for her, dad and I are not one of these gung ho parents who get upset with every mistake she makes along the way. I see some of these parents at the practices and it is not a very pretty sight. I feel so bad for the kid sometimes. I'm just happy that she won something. On the other hand, I'm happy when she wins nothing sometimes cuz for a while she started to get a bit big for her britches. Dad is just happy that her scores are improving.
Therefore she rather suprised/shocked us with the two first places for her level yesterday. Mimi also is working her tumbling. She is getting better at it but still not good enough to compete in it. That's ok by me. When she started off learning the tumbling with Elsie and a few of the other girls, Mimi mostly goofed off during the practices. Now they have moved on up to a higher level and Mimi is bored sitting by herself at the competitions and watching them from the sidelines.So I just keep my mouth shut and let her learn by herself.
