Sophia is now officially a cheerleader for the Broncos.

Sophia joined a league where the cheerleaders cheer for the boys' football and basketball games (fall and spring seasons).  Last night was her first practice and her first game was this afternoon.

When we left practice last night she told me she absolutely loved it. I should have known because right now she loves singing and acting along to her favorite movie.  She loved singing the songs at vacation bible school and doing all the hand movements too.  Hmmm....maybe this will be her thing.  We'll see.  The good thing is that the seasons are short and you take a break in between.  I don't think she'll suffer burnout with this schedule.

She joined the season late and the other girls on the squad had 5 practices up on her. If you would have seen her last night trying to learn the moves and the words you would have thought it was going to take her forever to catch up, but today she totally proved me wrong. She knew every cheer! Will and I were so proud of her. She had a huge grin on her face throughout the game because she was having so much fun even though under normal circumstances she would have been complaining that it was too hot outside and that she was dying from the heat. 

We will have practice twice a week and have a game every Saturday. I can't wait until she has to cheer on a crisp, fall day.
