Her Dream.....

Future Cheerleader!

Brooke has loved to cheer for years. When she was three I made her a cheerleader uniform. She was so cute! Not only did she wear it for Dylan's ball games, she also wore it for Halloween. Brooke has had the chance to participate in cheerleader clinics for the past two years, but chickened out when it came time to perform in front of the crowd. Believe it or not, Brooke was shy. Wow, how time changes you. If you remember a couple post back, I put a picture of Brooke and her friend cheering at a football game. After that game, she has gotten a lot braver. It doesn't matter if a friend is beside her or not, she is cheering.

Practicing for four hours, you would think it would warrant at least 4 cheers, but no, they did two. Brooke was disappointed but at the same time excited, she got to participate. Let's just say the cheers she did learn, she knows very well and did them the rest of the game.

Last week Brooke was sick (flu) and home with Tim. When she would get a burst of energy she would get up and do a cheer. At one point she would have Tim sit in front of her on the couch and she would do the motions to a cheer and he would have to guess the name of that cheer. After a couple cheers, she would crash again...poor thing. I had to laugh because when I got home from work the items on the coffee table beside the sick girl were; a thermometer, a cup, a box of Kleenex's, the lamp and her pink piece of paper that had the cheers listed on it. Then I heard all about Tim's day. Tim did learn a cheer and he just can't say the name of the cheer, he has to put the motions with it. Big G Little o GO (clap) Go (clap clap)! Haven't been to a ball game with the both of them to see if Tim will stand and do the cheer with Brooke. I guess this post will have To Be Continued...
