She says she is done...

Chloe says she has decided to retire from gymnastics.  I have heard this before and she actually stopped for a week, but then was back at it.  This time, I think it's for sure.  She is only 12 and she has had enough of sore muscles, aching joints, broken bones, soaking in ice, ice packs, emergency room visits, waking up in the night with terrible leg, arm or feet aches.  I've lived in fear the next break would be her neck....plus I hated all her joints hurting now, image with additional years of stress and strain  if she continued how she would feel at 50.  Time to do something much less physical....maybe I can talk her into playing the piano.  She could play it in her leotards :)
