Alex the Cheerleader...


Ella...the admirer.

Sporting her "Alex's #1 Fan" t-shirt we made for her, Ella played all over the bleachers Saturday as we watched Alex cheer on her team, the Wolves. Carrying her little green and gold pom pom, under Daddy or Babci's watchful eyes, she seemed to be taking it all in. She still calls football baseball but we're working on that. She shook her little booty to the chants and cheers, which makes me, a former pom-pommer myself, just tickled.
Alex did a great job! She's on a squad with 12 (?) other girls so the competition is thick. But she's a beautiful little lady and she's really loving it and having fun.

She's in the back row when cheering and the front row when it comes to stunts. That's usually where I ended up in the squad line-up. As a cheerleader I used to think maybe that was because I wasn't the BEST, but now from an Aunt/Fan perspective I see that the back row is the one most easily seen from the stands, and you're less likely to kick a girl in the face when you do a cartwheel. And the front row stunt girls looked less strained/scared than those actuall building the stunt.
Go Alex!!
