Oh sweet girl, you and your cheerleading camp. Emmy has hated t-ball and soccer but I told her she has to have a sport--she has to do something. When she decided she wanted to do cheerleading, I knew I couldn't say no, but oh sweet, sweet girl; I don't ever want your heart broken. I remember high school and it sometimes still hurts. I pray you never know that stuff. But, she was pretty adorable for camp. It was at the church where she attend daycamp during the summer. She had already taken gymnastics with them so Ms. Mary Hannah knows her. Camp was every morning for a week and she just loved it. They had a show the last day and the kids from the daycamp came to watch. When she was doing stunts and the entire class said "ooooh Emmy!" as she was on top of the little pyramid, I cried with joy. When she marched out there as the youngest girl (they ranged in age from 1st to 6th grade) and didn't even flinch, I beamed with pride. When we got home and she watched the videos that she insisted I take, she realized that she didn't quite stay in sync with everyone else and she was pretty disappointed, my heart tore a little.
She has signed up now for Power Tumbling lessons for the rest of the summer and we will see what happens in the fall. Right now, she says that she wants to do the cheerleading and the gymnastic lessons. I didn't get many photos--instead lots of video. I can't wait to see what the rest of the year holds!!!!
