Cheer Camp

This is an old post I found but maybe I never posted it because it was in my drafts.  Anyway, the date this was written was June 8, 2010.

We signed Aubree up for Cheer Camp this week so she can follow in her Aunt Heather's footsteps. The camp is run by one of the neighbor girls who charges a few bucks to run the week long camp to earn herself a little money. It's not really a professional camp by any stretch of the imagination.

The girl running the camp has let the power of being the "coach" go to her head. When Becky went to pick up Aubree on the first day of camp she was able to catch some of the following comments. Keep in mind that the girl has no idea that Becky is off to the side listening to her.

The girls are all sitting down while the "coach" gives a stern lecture.

Said in the stern voice of a coach: "You all need to bring treats. There's 11 of you plus two coaches so you have to bring 13 treats." Or "You need to make sure that your hair stays out of your face while doing your routine."

Plus, my favorite: "Chloe, you need to come prepared to work harder tomorrow."

Chloe is 3 and is in Syd's Sunbeam class.
