Give me a Cheer

Last night we had a quiz night for K's new Cheer club, which she has been attending for a few weeks. The girls all had a chance to perform their Cheer routine for the guests. K had a great time, though turned into a pumpkin, understandably, when it was time to finish up, being 11pm at night. Although similar to our previous stint with acrobatics, I'm happy to say that makeup is fairly minimal (red lipstick and brown eyeshadow), and the uniform is worn for multiple events - rather than a new costume for each performance. K is finding the routine challenging to remember, though is getting better each week.

 I still think any makeup on this child, changes her look completely.

I agreed that K could buy something from the Cheer apparel lady at the quiz night - thinking she would choose a bow or sparkly back pack. Instead, she chose a zebra print crop top and shorts, which I am assuming, would be a training outfit. Today is sunny, and Miss Zebra has been playing 'zebra' in the backyard for most of the afternoon. I'm not sure if this outfit will ever make it to training - but instead, may become a part of the dress up box. Mum and Dad are not sure what to think of the outfit, though will go along with whatever K is comfortable with at this stage. I have a feeling, she will decide herself, to return to leggings and a shirt for training. We will see.

Note - the glasses in the backgound of this photo does not mean we have spent a sunny afternoon drinking wine :-) These are plastic glasses that K rescued from the 'throw away' box, that have since become a part of her games and toys outside.
