Gymnastics update

Ainsley has been nagged with little injuries here and there, mostly her ankle, but she seems to be finally done with that after a week of crutches and some time in a boot.  We've been doing exercises to strengthen her ankles and wrists (since she complains of them too) and trying to continue stretching to avoid other injuries.  She is still so tight! 
Since her season ended, she has been picking up skills like crazy!  She had a long list to make level 7 and we got her report card a little bit ago and there were only 2 skills she was still working on.  She is doing her backhandspring on high beam, cartwheel backtuck off the beam, giants on bars (to fly away), cast handstands on the high bar, Tsukahara's on vault, layouts on floor, front tuck/front tuck on floor and last week she did a double back into the pit!  Here's some video of a few of her new skills.
