Nadia's first day at dance

I have been looking into activities for Nadia and I found a class for 2 year olds. It is a ballet, tap and tumbling class. Lets be realistic here, it's so she can have fun and learn to interact. I'm not expecting any pirouettes, but it is adorable to watch! Nadia was able to try a class today before we enroll. The only other place I have ever left her besides family is our babysitter who gives her a lot of attention. While Nadia usually doesn't have a problem meeting new people I was curious about what her reaction would be. They said not to worry about bringing any tap shoes or ballet shoes the first time; that was my first mistake. Nadia is a bit of a shoe freak, perhaps she gets that from me?! So right away she was wondering why she was only in her stockings. I was able to leave the room as soon as class started, she was sitting with the other girls getting stickers on their "sticker" feet. She watched a bit more than participated and was fine until half way through. She was looking all around for me and started crying and crying. I even mentioned to one of the parents -Oh, I hope she doesn't throw up! - She did.... I was then let to come into the room and sit on the floor with her. Poor girl! I felt awful for the poor teacher but she seemed to handle it quickly and move on. So, while she may have had a hard time today I am going to enroll her. The teacher said we will just start the same way as today and eventually she will be fine. I know my little Nadia is such a social butterfly so I am sure that once she is secure she will have a blast.
