Cheerleading

Back in May we went to Katie's Pre-School Graduation. On the back of the program it lists all of the graduates and what they want to be when they grow up. Of all things......Katie said Cheerleader. When Katie cut and donated her hair her only disappointment was that she couldn't put her hair in a ponytail like a cheerleader. Needless to say Phil and I got the point.

Over the first few weeks of elementary school as a parent you are always inundated with tons of events and activities for you and/or your child to participate in. We decided that when the cheerleader flyer came home that we would let her participate. Today was the first class. The parents are only allowed to be in the first class and the last class. It is too distracting to the girls.

For Katie she was very excited about the class. We figured since she was missing her old classmates and school maybe this would be a good thing for her to make even more new friends. We learned a few days before class that Katie's best friend in pre-school is also in the cheerleader class. So for Katie right now life is good.


Katie and her Friend........
Showing off her new moves........

Learning good stretching exercises......
With all of the adjustments Katie has been going through I think this will be something fun for her. The class goes until January so it will be awhile before I have new photos of her as a cheerleader.
