Found this note this morning, folded neatly in the cup holder in the van just before Claire hopped out of the car for school.
Me: What's this?
Claire: "Oh, it's just my checklist for gymnastics so I don't forget anything."
She hops out of the car and skips up the steps to school as I read the list.
#5 makes me smile at her courage and self-encouragement... and it makes my heart sink. Hmm, she has never mentioned being scared, but maybe this is what's behind her statements like "I hate the balance beam! It's stupid."
This list might come in handy for challenges down the road. I'll keep it in a safe place. Someday she'll be getting ready to go to high school, and I can take this list out for her (and, for, well...who are we kidding...ME.)
