Competition .... count down

Since Giulia is six this year she is eligible for gymnastics competition providing she has her skills by the time the season starts (which for her group is officially in January).

Today a letter came home that says she has a mock meet Dec. 11th. I so want to go watch .... but parents are not invited :( They will have a second one Dec. 18th and parents are allowed to that one. So the count down begins.
