Go --- Fight --- Win!!
Yes, there is a cheerleader in the house!
 |
| Look -- someone is watching from the top of the stairs! |
Maddy has been taking a cheer class in the evenings since school started last September.
She has really enjoyed it.
And believe me -- they don't just cheer, do jumps and
throw around the pom poms.
The instructors really give the girls a workout.
It has helped Maddy become more flexible.
In addition to a cartwheel,
she can do the splits,
a flip-over and
a back walk-over.
Her dance studio held a mini-recital recently.
It was really fun to see the different performances.
And really, the mini-recital seemed like quite a bit of work to me --
I can't image all that is involved in the "big" recitals
that are held in even-numbered years!
We realized a while back that Maddy's fingers are double-jointed,
but also noticed in cheer that her arms are too.
It is really a little difficult for her to hold them totally straight
and do you know how important straight lines and arms are to cheerleaders???
Let me tell you -- very important!
Guess what --
her toes are also double-jointed!

| Do you see how her arms are not straight due to the double-jointedness? |
Cheer classes take a break in the summer --
up next --
Hip Hop and Jazzzz!!

What a beautiful cheerleader!! She's such a special little girl... double jointed and all!
Cheer seems to have taken over... I know several kids cheering for their schools as well as being on competitive teams. Looks like Maddy is loving it! :)
Cute pictures of your adorable cheerleader! I am sure Kamree will want to take cheer sooner, than later!
