Starting the year off with babysitting a wonderful bunch of kids. I babysat 3 kids, the oldest one cheers at my same gym. It was so fun to babysit them again plus they got a new kitten named Noodle! We all played with it and made sure we didn’t lose her because they got her that day. When midnight struck only Parker (oldest girl) and I were up. Then started 2019 and I slept over at their house. The next day I had cheer practice and it went well. Then after cheer it was time for my birthday!! I opened my family presents first because I wouldn’t be able to see my dad the next day. I got an electric blanket, some makeup, new clothes and money!! The next day I would have a party at Sun Valley 14 Theatre to see Mary Poppins Returns. All of my friends that I invited came and celebrated with me. We all had a bunch of fun and took a quick picture at the fountain in front of the theatre. We also went to have dinner right before and after the movie we had Sweet Frog.
The next days after that I had cheer practice. We were getting ready to compete at a competition in our hometown, Charlotte. At one practice I jammed my finger when I was tumbling and so I didn’t tumble for the rest of practice. You could see bruising on it so we went to the doctors. I had a fracture near my growth plate on the top joint of my ring finger. I had to wear a splint at practice so I couldn’t tumble. The practice before the competition we “buddy” taped it and it was sore from tumbling. Then I competed with both teams and it was great! One of my teams got 1st and my other two teams got 2nd! The next day we waited for a bid reveal to see if any of my teams were going to Disney. Soon enough one of my Teams did! I was competing in the top competition in cheerleading. We then had practice and fixed up the routines. I then had a fallow up on my finger about a week after. My finger was healed and now I can tumble! It was great timing because one of my teams is getting ready to prepare to compete at a competition in Dallas! Thanks for reading if you made it through and sorry for posting later so stay tuned how my team will place at the prestigious completion in Dallas!
