I don't want to be a Ballerina, Pt. 2

Well today was our 2nd class of our 4 week Dance for Tots class. Grace was again very excited to go to class and dance. Miss Christine asked everyone to hold on to the rope and sing "The Wheels on the Bus" as they entered the classroom. Grace decided she was NOT going to class and said we should go home. I told her we were not leaving and we were going to sit there in the hallway for the entire class. She basically did this fake cry in her chair for at least 10 minutes (one of the other Moms got a picture of this and is going to send it to me:-). Finally I convinced her to go into the classroom. We went in for a minute, but she was already at the door ready to go. So we were back out in the hallway. A little more time passed and I convinced her once again to go into class. She was very interested in what they were doing (they were fishing!?!) Maddox began to cry so I had to leave. She stayed in there for maybe 5 minutes and then out in the hallway again. Finally I was able to put Maddox to sleep and convinced Grace for a third time (3x a charm...right?) to go back into the classroom. She actually particated in their activity! She jumped on some stars, ran through a tunnel and high-fived Miss Christine like a pro. She got her end-of-the-class sticker and as we were leaving she told me "that was fun Mama, we should do it again". Ugh!!!! Yes Grace, let's do that again next week.
