LoL! Little kids are easy if you know how to deal with them XD and definitely very high energy!

_{little boys and little girls occasionally feel like completely different species}

There are some really nice leotards out there with price tags to match! I remember one of the now-retired gymnasts saying how she "accidentally" bought the gorgeous one she was wearing to training that day XD

Our club does artistic gymnastics (the one with the multiple apparatuses) and only club levels (we do have interclub comps with other clubs). There's quite a bit of crossover with dance for the girls. Gymnastics and dance together would be quite expensive especially if you're doing state/national levels x_x

The backstage shenanigans do sound familiar from the one time I did it and also like the leadup to all of our end of year displays XD

Oh no how have the kids pulled up D:
