[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 177544, member: 3647"] I gotta tell ya, her age group (70# - which consists of only 4 or 5 girls) was watching with eyes as big as saucers as all the older groups were doing the lifts and throws. The next group up (80#) was already doing the lifts over the head! I thought for sure that Tink would be the one who stood on the legs (since she is only about 60#), until I got a good look at a couple of the other girls. Half her size and probably only 55#, maybe less. I will insist that she go to the last day of the clinic since it is paid for, and then decide from there. It breaks my heart because we came up with cheerleading as a good way for her to get exercise without it being so competitive. If she played soccer or baseball, she'd wind up in the fetal position on the sidelines as soon as she made a mistake. On the tails of my post the other day, where I complained that I could not take her idiosynchrocies anymore, after her comment yesterday about "kids like her", the first thought that went through my mind is that I would not have her any other way. Maybe this whole thing was a lesson for me. [/QUOTE]
