This shirt is SOOO Teagan--Chloe and I picked it out and couldn't resist!!

...It may just be a Sindlinger in the 2020 Olympics!!!  Teagan and Piper had their gymnastic meet this weekend.  It started out rocky in more ways then one.  I woke up with the flu at 1:15 am on Saturday morning--that ALWAYS sucks!!  So we get to the gym and Piper won't go out for warm ups--let's just say, she's a bit shy.  She finally goes out and sits with one of her coaches and warms up that way.  Then it's time to march in--nope, she won't march in so she's carried in by a coach (sobbing).  I got called over to sit with her in the line up (she's number 3 to do her routine).  I think I'm about to pass out when they call "Mrs Sindlinger, can you come and sit with Piper?"  Ugh...but I make it over there.  It gets to be her turn and she's still sobbing (she's been sobbing a while now, maybe I forgot to mention that.)  One of her coaches tries to do the routine with her and she does it- kind of.  But on her second tumbling pass, she did it ALL BY HERSELF!!  YEAH PIPER!!!  I knew she would do this so that is why I signed her up because I'm trying to get her over her shyness (it kind of worked with Chloe).  She tied for 4th with a score of 8.10 (they're still on the old scoring system).
 Teagan was in the next session and she has not one ounce of shyness in her body!!  She warmed up, she did her routine and got 2nd place with a score of 9.10!!  YEAH, TEAGAN!!!  I was so proud of the girls but I felt so CRUMMY!!  After the meet, the grandparents came over and I had to go straight to my room because I felt so crummy and so they wouldn't catch whatever I had.  I was miserable!!
Tonight, Aftyn Alivia learned how to do a somersault!!  And she does them perfect almost everytime!!  I remember Teagan learned how at 18 mos too so hopefully Taffy will be a gymnast too! (That is my favorite sport!!)
We went shopping today and Chloe and I saw this t-shirt and we just had to get it for Teagan--that girl does NOT ever stop talking!!!  Chloe and I were laughing so hard--it was just too perfect!  I think she should wear it the first day of kindergarten!! (Teagan doesn't know how to read yet so she has NO idea--he he)   enough for now...-AS
PS.  By the way, CONGRATS to Shawn Johnson and Nastia Luiken for representing our country so well!  Good Job Ladies!!!
