So Aspen had here first day of dance class on Monday. It was actually the 2nd class, but she missed the first becuase she was so sick. Parents are only allowed to stay and watch on the first MOnday of every month, and since she was sick for that one, we didn't get to stay and watch for Monday's class. So we had to drop her off in a place that she didn't really know with folks she didn't really know and a lot of loud music. Sigh. She hated it. When I went back in to pick her up (I was sitting in my car in the parking lot the whole damn time, afraid to leave) the teacher told me that she had been crying the whole time. She said that she was upset when she turned around and saw that we weren't there any more and kept saying that she "wanted her parents." So in the car we were talking to Aspen about what she thought of dance class (as she is partially hyperventilating from crying for about an hour) she says, "I don't like it in there." I asked her why and she said, "I don't like my teacher's eyes." I looked at my husband and he looked just as confused as I was. So we probed a little and she told us, "She has wierd eyelash thingys." And she pointed to her eyebrows. At this point I realize that the teacher did have on quite a bit of makeup and maybe that was her deal, I dont know. But the one thing she had for sure was big, penciled in eyebrows. I guess Aspen didn't like that look haha. So I asked her why she didn't like them and she said that they were scary and her teacher kept trying to talk to her but she would just run and run and run. I thought, OMG! This poor teacher. She was probably trying to get Aspen and console her and Aspen was probably running in circles screaming that she had wierd eyebrow thingys!!! LOL! So we are trying to decide where we go from here....do I make her go back and try 1 more time? Do I see if maybe I can get us into a mommy/daughter class to start out with, do I say she isn't old enough and try again next year or do I assume that she just isn't into dance and bag the whole idea all together? Any advice is welcomed. :)
