Let Her Dance

Our little Lexi-bug has been attending dance class for the past year. We started in February after she turned 2. She loves to dance and you can hear her in the back ground at class yelling, " again, again"!! after they complete a dance session. Our greatest challenge is the mother who does not wake up on time to take her! We only have one car at the moment and if I need to use the car I have to drive my husband to work at 5:00 am. Sometimes I can do it, most of the time,I CANT.Lexi always wakes me up in the morning and taps my head and says, " mama, dance class"! She absolutely adores dance class. This summer they decided to mix in the 2 and 3 year old's together, and boy, do we know who the 2 year old's are. They are the ones that don't listen! Lexi is no exception. She is a very high spirited toddler who marches to the toon of her own drum, so I decided to take a little break from dance class until she understands that when I am calling her in public, she needs to listen. I was finding myself running around like a chicken calling her name and Lexi yelling back at me " NO"! So right now, we are working on "taking mommy seriously" while we are at home and that " no, means, no". I know the issue is most likely her having to grow and develop a little more to understand that concept, so until we can get closer for her to understand that, dance class is taking a break. No worries, we will back in time for Ballet 101 in the winter. Our Lexi bug is a dancer. I would never force it upon her if she didn't enjoy to go, but she LOVES it and asks for it, so dancing it shall be for her. We will let her dance.......a little later
