Dance Class is a No-go!

Last wednesday and today Gaby and I took a trial dance class. They were opening up a time slot for 2 yr olds and were trying to see if there was enough interest to add the class. So last week we, along with four other 2 yrs olds, went to try it out. That day they made one very critical error- they sent the moms out immediately and made us sit out in the lobby, where we could watch what was going on inside from a couple of TV monitors. What's the best way to describe the situation in that room...... um.......let's see..... utter chaos.....that would be a good word! All the girls were screaming and crying and soooo not happy to be dancing. And as usual, it was sheer and utter torture for us moms. I also felt so bad for the instructor. The girls wanted nothing to do with her and what she was doing and you could see the total frustration on her face. So we went back this week to see if it would be different and, after convincing the instructor to let us moms in for the first few classes, we tried again. And there wasn't as much crying today but the girls still did not want to do anything the instructor was doing and pretty much would not leave our sides. So the instructor came to the conclusion that this probably wasn't a good idea and asked us to try again this summer. Too bad. I realllly wanted to see my sweet Gaby in a pink tutu and black tap shoes but it was obvious she's just not ready for this yet. Reinforces the fact that she still really is my little baby and not such a big girl afterall. Selfishly, that makes me feel good :) Oh well. Hopefully this summer she'll be willing to twirl, tap, and shake her booty :)
