This post is mostly for Sharon! Sharon met Anya in Bulgaria when she was visiting her daughter so she likes it when I keep her updated on Anya's insanity ;).
This time last year we singed Anya up for cheerleading. It only lasted a few months and was just something for fun. It ended back in March and she has talked about it pretty much weekly ever since! I was just getting ready to sign her up again when I learned about a special needs cheer squad. They run year round and cheer at competitions all over the city. It was a pretty penny, but I thought we would at least give it a try. Oh my.....she absolutely loves it! This is definitely her "thing"! Her coach is a former Mizzou cheerleader and is now and OT. It's an awesome team! Here are some pictures:

| She was terrified of stunts when she started, but now she loves it! She still doesn't want to stay up there long though! |

| I adore this picture. |

| The jacket and the bow the size of her head! |

| Stunts! |

| The team and their buddies! |

| Her first competition. The special needs teams don't get judged, but at this one she got a participation medal! |

Oh my goodness -- she is as cute as ever! We still laugh about her trying to empty my bag over and over until we had to hang it in a tree. She was one cute kid with an attitude. I would think as I watched her -- Boy, is Erin in for it! But, we loved her and she seemed so smart and so interested in everything. Thanks so much for the update and adorable pictures.
I think Anya is just too freakin' cute! I love the black and purple color scheme, and I also think she is SUPER, just like her jacket says! Way to go Anya for finding something you LOVE!
Ack....SO CUTE!!!!!! I can't tell you how much I love this. I remember seeing the Bulgaria video with Anya in it on Sharon's blog and thinking, "Hey! I think that's Anya!"
Sharon, we still talk about that video frequently. In some ways she hasn't changed much at all ;).
