The Letter

Last night the prince had his cheer awards banquet. He lettered! I see a letterman's jacket in his future. He's pretty excited, and we're pretty proud of all his hard work this year. Cheer--for not being an official high school sport--is very demanding of one's time.

This photo captures the essence of the prince!!! This is his coach, Tracy, and she had just read some very nice things she'd written about him. The she said, "Hey Prince, Knock, Knock!" He cracked up!!! Later we got the "Knock, Knock" story.

They were at a tournament and as is her habit, it was getting late, and the boys knew she would soon be knocking on their door to take their phones for the night. The boys were already in their beds, not in pjs but in their underwear (cuz that's how they sleep), and the prince says, "Lakota, you'd better put your pants on before Tracy gets here to take our phones." Lakota assures him that there's still time. The prince decides to check, so gets up, cracks the door (in his underwear) where Tracy is about to knock! KNOCK, KNOCK!!! Good thing she's the mom of a 14-year-old boy! She totally gets these two!
