You're going to WHAT?

Loyal blog followers may remember a post back in December 2008 where the prince decided he would like to join the Girl's Dance Team during 8th grade. No? Well the link is attached.

That dream died...as it should have, but this spring it was reinvented in the form of being the mascot for his high school. I believe this is much more up his alley, and we were behind him 100% in this endeavor. Attached it the link to that fine memory.

Last week he, along with the cheerleaders at his school, met for two days with the Kansas State cheerleaders for a camp. Kansas brought 3 male cheer guys (called Stunt Men, thus making a cheer squad now a stunt team), and these three guys looked around at all the girls and one lone prince and saw where their challenge was. By the end of day 1 of cheer camp they had him convinced that he needed to be a stunt man--in addition to his mascot duties--and he agreed. I had visions of college scholarships in my eyes. All three of those guys had full-ride for cheer. But the prince's visions were more in line with the fact that in some of the lifts they taught him, he gets to rest his hand on a cheerleader BUTT for a few seconds! Holy Moly!

This is not without it's risks though. As the cheerleader was jumping down after one such lift, she accidently kicked him in the crotch! (I'm sure it was an accident!) One of the stunt men, coaching them, said, "Great job. You got her down safely before you winced!"

So now he's a Stunt Man...and a mascot...and will run track...and is on the honor roll...and will get his license in December...

Is it asking too much if I will continue to dream of the full-ride scholarship?

He doesn't really like this top...and who can blame him...but ah, the perks that go along with it!
