Today we learned that Julia has achieved level 3 in gymnastics.  We think, as do her coaches, that she has great potential.  However, Julia does not want to continue to pursue this sport.  I understand.  She is too young for two practices a week at three hours per practice.  While we will miss seeing her develop and compete in this natural talent of hers, we will not miss the expense and the commitment it requires.
