Today, Matthew competed in the Spinner Invitational. He worked hard, and his all around score was improved over the last meet, but he did not end up with any medals. He ended up in tears and was blaming himself for causing his team to lose the team competition.
This competition season has been rough for Matthew. He is competing at a higher level than last year and it is tough for him to see Andrew winning when he is not. We keep reminding him that Andrew is repeating the same level and that we are proud of him no matter what, but he is still struggling. It is difficult to watch. I guess it is a mom thing, and while I know he will learn from this, I wish I could fix it for him.
