Kayla has spent the last 4 years of her life following the boys around their soccer games, watching them grow into the mini stars they now are. Very few complaints (other than "I'm bored", and "Do I have to go"...).
Kayla decided this year to graduate her interest from a weeknight session of Gym to start up Cheer Leading competition. It would have been nice to understand from the start that this meant the club might as well have a copy of our credit card, however, we couldn't really tell Kayla she cant do it.
So after only 8 weeks of practice (once a week), it is announced they are entering all girls into a State Championship competition.
Great.
It is also announced by my darling wife Tracy, that the boys and I are going to spend 4 hours on a Saturday morning, watching 3 minute routines (only one of which is Kayla) of dancers from all over the state. "Of course Sweety, I would love to."
So Kayla gets dolled up in 4 inches of make up as specified by the club, has her outfit on, is bursting with excitement, and ready to go.
Despite the boys saying they were bored a few times, I reckon they were secretly enjoying watching all the girls in their outfits doing some pretty amazing dance moves.
We did all get through it without any major complaints, and to top it off, Kayla's team actually got 1st price in her age group and division. This is a pretty amazing outcome, considering they only started dancing together 8 weeks ago.
What that in turn means, is that Kayla is now a massive fan of Cheer Leading, and wants to get better and do more competitions. Looking forward to that......
