Another CHEERLEADER

As the week began I wasn't so sure everything was going to work out for Natalie. She wanted to try out for Junior High Cheer leading, I know you are saying "What? Why are you thinking that?" First I will say I was a little sad that she is wanting to do cheer because she is SO good at sports. I mean really good. She is VERY competitive and I think she was just born that way. I kept thinking man she won't be playing sports, then I thought OK she won't make it. ( I know I know not nice at all) Then I reminded myself you can do both in Junior High. Once you get to 9Th grade you have to make a choice. So anyways after her first day of the cheer clinic I thought OH MY GOSH this isn't going to work. She is frustrated and every time Lauren tries to help she gets mad. I finally had to just step aside and let her do this, it was so hard for me not to give an opinion or anything. I just watched each day she practiced from 4 until we made her stop at 10 p.m. and she was getting better and better and better...by Thursday I was amazed that she was doing so good because on Monday she couldn't smile,talk and cheer all at the same time. It was one thing at a time and that was it!

So Friday I picked her up from School, she was shaking I was shaking and I just kept telling her do her best,try hard,smile,yell and on and on. We pull up to the school and Lauren is waiting! She has shown no interest at all this entire time. She was there to do Natalie's hair and make up. The girls did what they had to do and she was off!
We are not going to find out until Saturday at noon. Crummy huh? Natalie was walking in circles all night until about 11 a Dad of another girl told me Natalie made it and they had just posted it. Well I am sure not going to tell her without seeing it with my own eyes. We head up to the school in the POURING FLOODING rain.

GUESS WHAT? She made it! Yes we are now the proud parents of 2 Cheer leaders! I hope we survive this!

So now that she made it I am so excited! I am so super happy for her. She is going to have so much fun and I can't wait to see her grow with this!
