Okay, I have to admit that it has always been my dream to have a little girl who loved to go to dance lessons as much as I did (and whould love to still do). Well, I thought for sure my little Drama Queen would easily turn into a Dancing Queen...I was so wrong!
Reghan had her first day of Creative Dance class last Tuesday. The class is only a half hour long. It is full of three-year-old girls. So, I got my little girl all dressed in her beautiful outfit complete with a bun and a ballet bow. We headed off to class with Reghan's big cousin Kennedy in tow. Kennedy takes ballet from the same dance studio and so I thought it would be a good idea to have Kennedy attend the first class to help Reghan get used to the new place.
I was so wrong and all of my "expectations" of the first day were turned upside down by my beautifully dressed drama queen! Reghan would have NOTHING to do with dance class. The first half of the class I spent chasing her back into the dance studio. She was laying on the floor yelling at me to go home. The second half of the class Rehgan spend sitting on the bench inside of the classroom with Kennedy. By that time I had to be thankful that she was sitting there watching the other girls dance and not out yelling at me.
At the end of class the other little girls were given a sticker for their participation and Reghan was not. Of all the things to bother her the most about class was the fact that she did not get a sticker! I was glad that the teacher did not give her once because it gave me a chance to talk to my three-year-old about having to do what Miss Joy says to get a sticker.
Now I am quickly realizing that tomorrow is Tuesday again and she has class again! This time I am praying that she will at least step onto the dance floor. I guess I have learned my lesson about having expecations for a three-year-old. Here are some of the pictures I was able to get.
Big cousin getting the little ballerina buckled up into her carseat. On our way to class. Still happy (for the moment)
Rehgan just realized that she was the only one without a sticker!

I am sorry she didn't enjoy it! When Felicity started dance classes she used to cry when she had to leave because she loved it so much. Hopefully she'll learn to like it! :)
