Honorable mention.

So last night Princess M had her very first cheerleading competition. I use the term competition lightly. It was mostly younger girls, between the ages of 5 and 9 doing cute little cheers.

All the teams got awarded for one thing or another. Most spirit, loudest team, most entertaining..you get the point.

Our team got Most Spirited team!!

 

There were a few teams that took this very seriously. Back flips and all! Very seriously. But mostly, it was just a fun event.

The 2nd half of the night consisted of girls doing jumps and tumbles. They had the girls mixed into age categories and they each did a cheer jump, or back flip.  Well my sweet little girl got honorable mention!  I know it didn't really count for much, but when they said her name, I really did choke up  just a little. I don't’ even know if she really understood what was going on, but she was so proud of that green ribbon! When they called her name she walked halfway out onto the floor, then looked back at her coaches, like..”should i do that jump again, or what?” It was really cute! This is pretty much the end of the cheer season for our town, but I know she loved it so much, we’ll be doing this next year too!

Until next time, don’t forget to floss!
