Guess what, guess what!! *hehe* My daughter has PASSED level three gymnastics! She was told by the owner of the gymnastics center that although she is NOT ready to compete on the team level; that she she definately has the potential to be ready quickly.

So she is asking us to enroll Jenna in their pre-team league. It's called Super Tots (and is for ages 6-13). There are three levels, bronse, silver, and gold. They are asking Jenna to move directly into GOLD!!!!!!! Apparently only four girls in the entire gymnastics center are in this level.

But you know what's even more exciting? Her coach pulled us aside and said the ONE thing he has really noticed is how but better Jenna is LISTENING and FOLLOWING his instructions!!

This - my friends - is a direct result of her medication being at the right level!!! I wasn't sure I'd ever see my extremely hyper daughter be able to stand still and listen to what she needed to know! I always figured she'd be one of those kids you see just bouncing all over the floor!

WAY TO GO JENNA!

I have a niece that is extremely adhd and LD and she can figure skate with the best kids in town. For some reason she can concentrate and learn routines better than she can read. For some reason being adhd works to her advantage when it comes to these things..her doctor says sometimes thats the way it happens with our special children . While they cant focus on most things..they can super focus on one thing they really like. ;D Let us know how she does in her new category!

congrats anna!
that is so wonderful! isn't it terrific to watch our kids succeed! and they need it so bad too.
my daughter was the same with dance. it took her a little longer to learn the routine than the other kids but once she had it, she didn't forget it! in fact she can still dance some or all of many of the dances she's done over the years.
the one down side to competing in anything is the expense.
that's such great news!
