Today was Arianna's first day of dance class! We arrived at the dance studio around 10 am and waited patiently for the studio doors to open. Arianna checked out all the other little girls who were going to join her in class and she waited anxiously for Cousin Mikayla to arrive.
At 10:15 the studio doors opened and the girls lined up one by one and went into class. As soon as the door closed behind them, Arianna started crying because mommy wasn't with her. The instructors called me in and I sat with her for a little while until she decided she would rather sit with Mikayla. I quietly snuck out of the class and let the door close behind me. I didn't feel so bad, as there were several other mothers who had to rush in after their screaming daughters. Some had to stay in the class the entire time.
Tanya and I watched as the girls danced, played with music sticks and hula hoops. They did great until the very end when Arianna realized I was not in the class anymore. Thank goodness it took her most of the class to notice I wasn't there! She started to cry a little bit but I came in with the rest of the parents because class had ended and it was time to go home.
It was great for Arianna to have another friend there to share her dancing experience with. She really loves spending time with Mikayla. Dallie even showed up in the middle of class to check on her girl and cheer her on. Thanks Dallie!
We return to class next Friday and I will certainly update the blog with the next dance news!
