I get to be the top of the pyramid!

Imagine the feeling in the pit of my stomach as my four year old comes home from cheer camp announcing her position in their final cheer. Yikes!
Brooklyn really enjoyed cheer camp and now says gymnastics is her favorite thing to do. She is now able to do a cartwheel, forward roll, and a bridge with her head OFF the floor. What progress!
She was very excited to show off her skills at the "show" at the end of the week. She was most excited that Daddy was able to get away from work to see her. She made a special video request to his boss asking if he would PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let Daddy come. How could you turn that down?
I was surprised at the skills of the other girls in the camp. Brooklyn was, by far, the youngest and most inexperienced of the bunch. But still, there was a girl that couldn't have been more than two years older doing back handsprings! All comparisons aside, I am very proud of Brooklyn for trying something new, knowing no one, and coming out of the week with some great new skills. Sorry for the quality of the photos and video. I was fighting with lighting and a mean blue pole standing between Brooklyn and the camera.
