this is a day i will remember for the rest of my life. this is a day that i want O to remember. for the rest of her life, especially if she has a daughter. 
i was more than excited for her ballet class and, from what i could tell, O was too.
so what happened between the excitement? (notice O is NOT in this picture with all of her sweet friends...)
that's because she's laying on the floor screaming. like a freaking banshee.
i have never felt so helpless (and 100% embarrassed, ticked off, humiliated) in all of my life. i stood in there with her and tried to make her happy, and i tried leaving her alone by sitting in the waiting room. lots of bribing was happening. nothing helped. i wanted to hold her like a baby and rush her to the car and i kinda wanted to beat her.
the teacher came out with her and said "mom, it's just not going to happen tonight." awesome. the class was supposed be over at 6:30pm and we were in the house at 6:25pm and that was after running by the cleaners on the way home. worst "first" ever.
i will tell you that S was 'allowed' to take her the next week and she's been a freaking rockstar ever since!!! what the h*ll happened??? we'll never know. i'm just glad that she loves it and and now says "mom, i'm ready to go to ballet, hurry!!!"
