Tiny Dancer

For many months Maddie has told me "I gotta go to dance class, Mommy!" We think it was something she picked up from our neighbors and Maddie's favorite friends, Ella and Alexa. So, we decided to enroll her! The first day came... she looked PRECIOUS! We had our tap and ballet shoes READY! We went to class, and she had a meltdown! The combination of no nap, starting preschool at the same time, and an undetected ear-infection and possible hand, foot, mouth contributed to a tearful experience. Being a teacher, I was mortified that when we finally DID get her to sit on her letter as directed, she pouted ... didn't follow directions, and was a general nuisance. We didn't stay. it was ROUGH! The second class went much better! She still covers her ears when the class taps their shoes together. Time will tell if she warms up to the experience. She can tell you though. "Mom's so proud cause I didn't cry at dance class. I was a good listener. "
