Caleb had his first gymnastics meet yesterday. I don’t know who was more nervous, Chris or Caleb.
Caleb woke up in the morning, got dressed, and was ready for the day before anyone else was awake. He was so excited. When we got to the competition and he saw all of the other gymnasts I watched his expression slowly change and he started to show some nervousness. By the end of the meet he had finally started to relax. However, Chris had butterflies the whole time – it must bring back memories of competing in sporting events from days gone by.
We are very proud of Caleb. He is a Level 5 gymnast but because his level competed on Sunday they allowed him to compete on Saturday with the Level 6 boys. All the other boys around him were doing a different routine for each event with greater difficulty. I think I would have been very intimidated. Caleb did well and received good scores on all his events. It was a little disappointing to know that he wasn’t being ranked for ribbons or medals, but hopefully his level will compete on Saturday in the next meet.
