[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I try to do every night but if my younger ones fall asleep before bath time(like in the car), I don’t wake them up to give them one. I would never take them to an activity or class though if they hadn’t been bathed within the last 24 hours. My kids play outside nearly all day sweating and getting dirty, so if they have gymnastics in the afternoon I give them baths right before we go. My five year old obviously doesn’t have body odor but they definitely have a smell when they’ve been playing outside all day. [/quote]

So you bathe your kids before exercise?  Huh.[/quote]

Yes, because I don’t want my kid smelling gross or having dirty feet when they have coaches touching them and picking them up. [b]My 5 year old trains 3 hours per day at gymnastics [/b]so usually she falls asleep on the way home so I’d also rather not have her be even more dirty from being outside all day plus gymnastics.

OMG. You have much bigger problems than being super anal about bathing. And you realize they will be sweaty within ten minutes?  Maybe you should stand on the side of the mat and wipe her every few minutes during her three hour workout at age 5. [/quote]

I’m certainly not anal about bathing.. I said I don’t always bathe every night but wouldn’t send my kid to an activity smelling like sweat and grass, with sand and dirt under their fingernails and toenails(which is how they look after playing outside all day) how is that anal? And yes, my kid is on Pre-Team with many other kids her age and they have a gymnastics camp. In the fall it will be just two nights for three hours a night. I don’t care if they are sweating at an activity, that’s usually what happens when you’re active, I’m just not sending them visibly dirty and honestly it’s hard to get a leotard on a sweaty,dirty kid so the bath solves that.

No 5 year old can focus or should trained for three hours at a time! If it’s “camp” that’s one thing and they aren’t training for three solid hours. [/quote]

Do you even know what pre team is? My daughter was invited to pre team but we declined. But for her it only would have been 3 hrs a week (two 90 minute sessions). PP, did you mean 3 fours in one session, or 3 total for the week?[/quote]

She was doing 1.5 hours twice per week in the (pre)pre-team class she took before this. She moved up to this one in June. She trains in two 3 hour sessions, so six hours per week. It is not just constant conditioning , there is a 15 minute break after the first 1.5 hours where they eat a snack and talk to their friends, they have tons of fun and my daughter is always excited to go back, she convinced  us to let her do Pre-Team. She is very focused and loves gymnastics. The whole class is 5-6 years old. My daughter is the youngest with a fall birthday but they are all rising Kindergarteners or 1st graders. [/quote]

We don't care. I mean, maybe that one weird poster does. But no one else.[/quote]
