Well, congrats are in order for Chelsea!! She finally landed her back handspring last night without a spot!!! She was able to do it about a year ago, but then she got hurt and lost it. She is such little walking accident...for those of you that don't know her! Let's see, she got her first cast about 3 years ago when she broke the growth plate in her elbow. This happened when she tripped over a girl at dance. Then she got her first full leg cast that same year when she fell up the metal steps at school. That resulted in another broken growth plate, but this time in her leg. Then, last December, she dislocated her knee (same one she injured before) while taking off her dance shoe!! So, that meant another full leg cast! That's when she lost her back handspring. Sooo, long story short...congrats to Chelsea for finally mastering it! She had to overcome a lot, but she stuck with it! I'm so proud of her!!
