my little cheerleader

emma wants to be a cheerleader SO bad and i made the mistake of telling her about the mini clinic my squad was putting on a week before it was even going to happen. so basically i heard about it EVERY day, multiple times a day, for an entire week. 

finally the long awaited day happened last friday where we had a 2 hour clinic practice and then the girls got to cheer the 3rd quarter of the varsity football game. 

we had old uniforms and pom poms out for the girls to purchase if they wanted and emma just HAD to have them. 

i totally should have taken a before picture but after about an hour of winging it with scissors and my sewing machine, i took a high schooler size uniform and turned it into a 4 year old uniform.

emma had the best time and it just melted my heart that my little emma finds such joy in something i love as well. 

 and it was the game of the week so emma got her 10 seconds of fame on the 10pm news because the news guy just picked her right up and said, "hey! do you want ot be on t.v.?!"
obviously we need to discuss stranger danger more because she didn't even ask permission! : )
