Kate was SO excited to be a ballerina and go to ballet class! When she arrived she was smiling and making friends with her fellow ballerinas. She was running around the studio and showing everybody her twirls. Class started and she engaged in the stretching and was following directions. Then the teacher told the ballerinas to do certain things, you know teach them ballet stuff, and Kate had a massive fit and started crying. "Mom, I want to goooooooooooo"...this lasted about 5 minutes, I think, but it felt like 15 minutes. Kate just doesn't like people telling her what to do. In Kate's mind she knows how to twirl and be a ballerina so why can't she just do whatever she wants right? Makes sense to me. It was comical and annoying at the same time.

Before class started, Kate was happy and showing off her moves! Notice Daddy sneaking out?

Kate crying when she could not do her own thing
So after the crying episode, Kate and mommy had a talk. She was given two choices. She could either stand with the ballerinas or sit in the corner and watch, but NO crying! Kate chose to sit in the corner and watch the ballerinas. This is a picture of Kate looking through the glass saying "hi" to me in the waiting room. I heard her say things to the teacher like "I can do that" and "I know how to do that". The teacher asked her if she wanted to join the class to earn her lollipop, Kate said, "no thanks." At least she is polite.
