Emma the Athlete!!

Emma has been "exploring" lots of different activities over the last year!  I wanted her to start out early to figure out what she likes and is good at!!  So far, she seems to be pretty athletic and coordinated!  This fall she has chosen... (drum roll!)

SOCCER!!

Ready for our first soccer practice!

Getting a little instruction from her coach!

AND CHEERLEADING!!

Emma LOVED the Saltillo cheer camp and says that's what she wants to be when she grows up!  So...I called DCA (Dallas Cheer Academy) in Tupelo, and Mrs. Angie let her come try it out to see if she liked and we wanted to do competitive cheerleading!  Here are a few pictures from her FIRST practice...

Yep...that's Emma on the TOP of a pyramid!  Needless to say, she was grinning from ear to ear!  This is a 2 hour class, with the first hour of stunts/ choragraphy and the second hour of tumbling.  Emma was actually SORE after the first class, and almost decided not to do it because "it was sooooo hard!"  But, we practiced a little and she went back the following week and absolutely LOVES it!  She is one of the youngest on the team, but she has improved so much in just the 3 weeks she's gone!  The only downside is that we've had to give up gymnastics at Flip Flops :(  The DCA Stars will practice all this semester and we will start competition in January!
