The little things....

When Mckenzie started gymnastics 2 years ago, I never thought that it would bless our lives so much! When she started she was so shy and hated being called little. Well, she is little so it happened a lot! As soon as she stepped foot in the gym all of the coaches were wonderful. They were constantly praising her and telling her and me how talented she is. It has been a major ego-boost for her. Her coaches also tell her "the littler, the better"...she doesn't mind being called little anymore! McKenzie was invited to join the pre-competition team where she goes 2 times a week for 2 hours each time. Oh, and she likes

me to stay and watch! In doing that, we have made some really good friends. There are a few other moms who stay to watch that I have become friends with. I look forward to gymnastics days now because McKenzie gets to go get her energy out and be with her friends and I get my social hour!

One of my new friends who also happens to be McKenzie's dance teacher, has some friends that cheer for University of Utah. McKenzie loves the cheerleaders! They are like celebrities to her. We were talking about that and how we were both taking our girls to the U of U gymnastics meet on the same night. My cute friend arranged for McKenzie to meet her cheerleader friends. It made McKenzie's night. She was so excited! We were talking later and my friend told me that she was glad McKenzie had that opportunity and that it is the little things that they remember most. I can't agree more!
