Lilly nods and stands on the floor of the gym, watching as her teammates start doing tumbling passes across the large foam blocks set up in the center of the gym.
Okay, so what do you want to focus on?

I walk away as she sees me talking to another girl
Lilly notices that you are talking to another parent and frowns. She hates it when you talk to other parents more than her. As she looks over, she hears some of the girls giggling about you
style
they finish practice
After everyone leaves the gym, Lilly approaches you.
Mom can I talk to you about something?
style
I look over at my daughter lilly yes honey
she smiles up at you I think im going to be good today, I got a good nights sleep last night and im feeling pretty energized
style
I look at my daughter ok sweetheart
She smiles and looks up at you. Her muscles are long and lean as she stands on her toes in a perfect second position stretch
Are you excited for the meet this weekend?
style
I look over at my daughter Lilly not now sweetie I’m talking to these girls
Lilly pouts and rolls her eyes, annoyed that she’s not getting attention from her mom. She crosses her arms and looks off to the side.
style
I look at you Good job Lilly!
Lilly smiles shyly as she hears your praise. The other kids in the squad have all finished stretching as well and are now chatting amongst themselves
style
I walk out of the locker room ok team let's get started
The kids all begin to focus on you as you start the practice. Lilly stands there and waits patiently, the other kids begin to jog and stretch and get ready to start. Lilly gives you a little wave
style
the boys and girls say good morning to me
They all said their usual morning greeting. Lilly then walked over to you with a smile on her face.
"Mom, I have something I want to talk to you about."
style
Good job, Lilly! Show me what you've got today. Remember, focus on your technique, not just your moves. And don't forget to stay hydrated.
Lilly nods and heads over to the spring board. She approaches it at a slow jog before sprinting down and launching herself into the air. She does a back handspring and lands back on the spring board. She looks up at you and smiles as she jumps off the board and heads to the balance beam
style
look at her good let's get started then
Lilly nods her head and begins warming up on the vault, doing handstands against the mat and handstand walks. After a few minutes she approaches you. "Mom, I have something to ask you"
