For all the classes Franny has taken, we have been fortunate with the positive experiences she has had.  In some cases she had such outstanding teachers and experiences that it was sad to end them.  Until Franny’s ballet class that she just started a few weeks ago, she has never been in a situation that I felt uncomfortable and that I felt she would be better off finding something else.  At the end of her class last week, however, I wanted that to be the end of it.  I did like the teacher, but the other little girls made the experience tedious and frustrating at best.  Regardless of having Delaney already being taken care of by Grandma and the ideal timing of her session, I would only have had Franny continue if she absolutely wanted to be in that class.  Fortunately, she didn’t.  We switched her into another time, and we will see how it goes.  In this class, she is the only student, which I thought would be a deal breaker for her, but she didn’t mind.  She chose that over going to another dance studio.  Her teacher thought she did a good job, and was impressed that she displayed a real interest in actually learning ballet, which she said was uncommon and that girls this age are more interested in playing.  We’ll take it one week at a time, but for right now, this is what Franny wants to do and as long as it is fun for her, we’ll continue with it.
