For the past year or so Kennedy has talked about being a cheerleader. Considering Tara was always on the field and not cheering on the players I'm not quite sure how Kennedy decided that she would rather switch roles, but she's six - cheerleaders are big with the six year old crowd. A couple of days ago Dede finally got a chance to cheer as Cottonwood High School was having a min-cheer camp for little kids. All week long Kennedy has been living life as a cheerleader each afternoon.
Last night she was able to make her big debut as the mini-cheerleaders took to the field at half time of the Cottonwood - Brighton football game. Dede did great! She knew all of the routines and she is certainly aware of when the spotlight is on. It was so fun to watch our little girl out there having the time of her life. When we picked her up afterwards she affirmed that she was going to be a cheerleader when she is older. At least Dede will be cheering for the right school - go Colts!
BTW - Last night marks the first time I had been at a Cottonwood High football game in more than 15 years. It was a little weird being back there, but also a lot of fun. It really is a beautiful view looking out at Mount Olympus. We didn't stick around for the entire game, but it certainly won't be the last time we cheer on the Colts.
