FIRST CHEER COMPETITION!

It's a whole different world than I am used to. It seems like it would be the same, but not quite. Emma has never cheered before and the teams second flyer quit 2nd semester so Emma had to fill in for her spot. She picked it up so quickly. The tricks she has learned have been amazing. We are so proud of her hard work and determination and of course - how fearless she is! My eyes really welled up with pride when they completed the routine and since she did it yesterday, I have probably watched it a couple dozen times! Here is my facebook post:

This girl is an energizer bunny...yesterday she had to be at Perry HS by 6:50am to get on the bus to head to her first cheer competition. It was the first time freshman have competed for Perry and they took first place! As soon as awards ended we raced over to her dance competition. They did awesome! I love seeing her do her thing on stage. We got home just after midnight and she was up at 7am to go back and dance some more. WE are new to the cheer world and she sent a selfie to Tatum "why is my pony tail higher than my hopes and dreams?!" #cheervirgins #danceregulars #imexhausted #shewillcrashtonight
