STOP AND PUT SOME BOOM IN IT!

Here's the girlie-girl cheerleader in all of her smiling glory! She loves cheerleading, although the 3 x week 2 hour long practices are beginning to wear on her (and Mom & Dad). She's doing a great job balancing the needs of homework, dinner and practice much better than I anticipated. She's found that she really appreciates the nights without practice! One drawback this year is that she is almost 9 and the other girls are all 7 or young 8's. She and one other girl are much more mature than the rest and it bothers them both to put up with the inattentiveness from the younger girls when Coach asks them to correct their behavior. Katie has been known once or twice to go up to the youngster and say, "You need to listen to Coach or we'll all be here forever!" No, the apple does not fall far from the tree...(bottom picture, Katie is in the center)
