Bragging it up
Well, she had the Winter Games yesterday, and she was skating two events.
She rocked her first event, the artistic, skating to Jewel's "Satisfied". There was a glitch in the music, and she lost her composure at the end. I think that was what cost her the medal. Still she was perfectly Satisfied with her 5th place, and they gave them all medals, which was cool.
We returned from dinner and she was stoked and ready for her next event the freestyle. She looked tired to me in her warm up, and she fell down. She was motioning to her coach that she hurt her knee. She was fourth of five to go out, and her piece was solid, and fluid. She was very beautiful, and we all felt like it was a solid first place performance.
She placed second, and was so happy to have finally placed above third in something lol. Now she wants to frame her dress, medal, program and picture so she can auction it off when she goes to the Olympics as her first Figure Skating Medal.
I'm so proud of her. She made the decision to commit to figure skating and she has worked so hard. She never complains skating hour after hour. She worked so hard for that moment, but instead of gloating, she took time to console another skater who struggled with her first event, and congratulated the other skaters she knew who won.
I think I'm raising a pretty amazing human.
