It was going to happen some day

Not bad, almost 10 years without really and truly breaking a child's heart. Sure little bumps, but for the most part we've done pretty good. Allison wants to move to pre-team gymnastics, 6 hours of practice per week, two nights not going to bed until almost 10:00. We chose to say no. I don't think I've ever seen so many tears, just sobbing. Much second guessing and back and forth over this one, who's right? There's always next year, but she doesn't see it that way. There are many other activities to pursue, but she doesn't see it that way. She can still do gymnastics, but 3 hours per week instead, she doesn't see that as a good option. Oh well, the decision has been made, so we'll move on.
