Analise voiced her desire to become a ballerina and I decided to take her to her first class last week. She cried the minute I dropped her off and I finally had to pull her out after 15 minutes of wailing. We watched the rest of the class through the viewing window and by the end of the hour she was ready to try it again the following week. While waiting, Jocelyn had an opportunity to watch some of the other classes and wanted to try it out for herself too.
Yesterday was JoJo’s first class. She was terrific!
(That’s her in the front row far left facing the teacher)
Then it was Ana’s turn. She was so excited and even jumping up and down when she walked into class. All the parents that were there last week were clapping and saying that she’s done a complete 180 from last week. While the teacher set the kids up in their positions, I could tell she was beginning to get a little upset. All of a sudden she full-on lost it. The class hadn’t even officially started. She ran out and never went back in. Ugh. I’ll give her sometime and try again in a couple months.
Here’s the one picture I got before she started to cry.
She must have worn herself out with all the fussing that when we got home, this is what happened…
