Gymnastics!

Teagan started a new session of gymnastics this week. It's a 3 year old class so that means no more mommy or daddy in class with her! I was a little leary on how she would do going in by herself. We've been trying to talk to her about what was going to happen and each time she would say "no, you will go in with me and daddy will stay with Emmersyn in the hall". I was pleasantly surprised when she went in with Ms. Kelly all by herself with no tears. She sat next to the girls on the line like she was suppose to and I thought we were golden.
Well, that's where the story goes a little south. Within 15 minutes, Teagan was placed on the mat in "timeout" because she kept running off from the group. She didn't want to follow direction or go through the opstitcle (sp) course and was being quite bad. I was mortified. She is usually better at gymnastics and has always been better than average with the skills. After about 10 more minutes, Kelly had me come into the gym and sit thinking it would help and it did to an extent, but Teagan did NOT want to listen.
I'm hoping this is just a phase and that it is not going to last more than another class. I really don't want to have the "bad" kid in class. And I'm hoping it's not a sign of things to come in school and maybe it'll actually help having her work this out now rather than in preschool before she's labeled for life!

She does look cute in her leotard though so it wasn't a total wash! Please wish me luck with my very independant girl!
