(the cheering squad)
So the girl finally did it. She's been wanting to be a cheerleader for the last couple of years. Not enough to actually join a squad, mind you but just thinks it's all about pom poms and chanting and they're "so pretty".
Oh honey. Even since my day it has evolved to a serious sport! These girls are legit athletes. So, when the opportunity came for her to just cheer for single Verot game with the "Little Bit of Spirit" squad, we jumped on it. Mind you, they'll teach them minuscule amounts to get by and be adorable but the whole experience made Maddie realize it ain't no joke. "How do they remember all those cheers?, Where did they learn how to do flips?, Why do they wear bows?"...you know, the important stuff. She saw how hard they work and now really wants to be one. Oh boy. One thing at a time. For now, gymnastics...let's see if we can get a cartwheel completed and we'll go from there!
In the midst of all this fun, she finally lost the front tooth that's been loose for, like, a YEAR! As soon as she came out onto the field, she was shouting about it to us!
The fact that some great buds did it too was just icing on the cake!
I just love this girl's joy for life. You can see it in everything she does. She truly has fun and frankly, that's all that matters to me....
