    Yesterday she posted a story saying last year she felt a little ‘lost’ since it was HER first year at the big competition. We will remember she decided to bring the little one along saying she wanted them to spend some quality 1:1 time together. The last minute addition came after she read the schedule and found out she would be on her own for a number of days and, I suspect, she didn’t know what she would do with herself since she doesn’t seem to have any cheer mom BFFs. So the little one got to jump on the bed in the hotel room with Mom to show how much fun they were having. They ate at restaurants together but the two of them didn’t tackle the park together. What would she have posted if she was on her own? She waxed on about the wonderful time they were having and how much she needed this connection. Let’s see what this year bring!

      She quite literally only brought the little one because she has no friends. None of those cheer moms want to hang out with her! My kids sports gave me a handful of gf’s who eventually became family friends, so when tournaments roll around us parents have a blast behind the scenes.

        Kids sports is one of the best ways to make new friends as an adult! I don’t think she’s made any new friends during this cheer season so she uses her child as her companion and then buys her the shark costume to focus attention on them. She’s working all the jobs in her production company, casting, wardrobe, props and camera operator! The daughter in the competition doesn’t want to be part of the show anymore so she needs to bring along the one who doesn’t have the agency to say no.

        If my memory is correct she chose to stay at a completely different property than everyone else 😆 Only an onsite Disney Hotel will do for Queen Stretch Marks.

          That sounds right and she also went for the whole week. I wonder if the competitor went ahead with friends and her mother is showing up for the competition.

            Ya the kids were at a Value Disney resort. There was a large group of adults that looked to be off property somewhere and Bird was at Coronado Springs I think.
