Poor Little Jesslynn

Jesslynn is my youngest child and at nine she has the ability to wrap anyone around her little finger, anyone except me. She is your typical petite little gymnast with huge blue eyes and long blond hair and she knows how to use her eyes to win over situations. Come to think about it I am going to have to keep that in close check as she gets older.

This all said Jesslynn had an unbelieveable day yesterday. Getting breakfast the other day the poor child bent down and hit her nose on the cupboard door. So she now has a bruise across the bridge of her nose which is not cool for a primadonna. After this we went skating with the homeschoolers and the poor child fell and bruised both knees and was worried she wouldn't be able to go to the gym that night.



Well she did go to the gym only to be cheered at by another child when she fell on a vault. There has been some ongoing issues between the two girls more based on maturity than anything else. Jesslynn is very serious about her gym whereas the other little one is not as serious and slacks off during training. Being in the competitive program is a big responsibility for the kids and they know it. They compete at other clubs in the hopes of eventually competing on a provincial level. I worry that this issue with the other little girl is holding Jesslynn back.

I guess we go back to once a week private lesson with our favorite coach Jen (with one N)in order to get caught up in time for the Competition in Barrie Feb. 14.

I hope she gets it for her. I don't want her to get discouraged.

Till next time!
