Alex's Gymnastic Meet

Alex had his first gymnastic meet since joining TAG. He has attended 3 other gymnastic academies before this one. He outgrew all the others so quickly and this is the first one to really challenge him - which is just what he needs. It is such a neat thing to see him work so hard at something and enjoy it so much. TAG is amazing and they produce some of the best gymnasts around. I was a little worried Alex might be disappointed if he did not place at all since at the other academies he always walked away with a first place trophy. He simply said that these boys were really good and that he would try his best. He said he had his routine down, had practiced hard, and that's all he could do. What a great attitude! Where did he get that??

Anyway, he did GREAT! He competed in 6 activities and took home 4 second place ribbons and 2 first place ribbons!

Here are some pictures of his big night.

YAY for Alex!! That's awesome. Drew and Noah used to take gymnastics and loved it but it got too expensive. Drew misses it. Tell Alex to keep up the great work!
