Cheer Clinic Update

Today was Day One of the 2009 Cheerleading Clinic. Leyden survived, and still is not the least bit nervous. She thinks that when I want to discuss "Plan B," I am thinking that I don't think she's going to make it. I just want her to have an alternate plan if she doesn't make it. I know Leyden is a good cheerleader, I'm just not sure about the ability of the other girls trying out and where Leyden fits in. My prayer is that God's will be done.

Yesterday afternoon, we were all outside, and Leyden practiced her jumps on the trampoline. She does an AWESOME toe touch on the trampoline, except for looking down...

And after several good toe touches on the tramp, this is what Leyden's "ground level" toe touch looked like (trying to look up)...
Hurkie on the trampoline (looking down)...

And "ground level" hurkie, looking down...
Brad and Blue did an excellent job of giving Leyden advice...

So, we're geared up for a very stressful week. Leyden isn't showing any signs of stress or nervousness, but I'm getting the jitters already!

I'll try to keep you posted as the week goes on. If I don't have time to update daily, I'll at least post the results of tryouts, which begin Friday at 4:00 p.m. Leyden is #6 to tryout.

Thanks for the prayers!
