Once parked, Jacob bounded out of the van, and began dancing on the sidewalk showing us the new moves he had learned at school that day during a movement break. It was 7:30 and we were all starving at this point. We made our way to the van, where my husband was waiting, and began the short probably half mile ride to the restaurant. I decided to let it go, not wanting to start a scene and instead moved on to engaging the baby girl trying to get every detail about her first dance class. As the instructor paraded around the room with her basket of goodies, she made her way over to the baby girl who quietly accepted the sucker from her hand.Īnd then there came Jacob, "I want a sucker!" and instead of waiting grabbed one from the basket.īefore I could protest his rudeness, it was already in his mouth and the instructor had moved on. After taking a peek, he announced, "They are done!" and opened the door despite my objection.īut all was ok, as the instructor was at the door dismissing the little girls and handing each a dum dum sucker from an overflowing basket. Just on time, Jacob returned, and in typical Jacob fanfare, he somehow made his way politely yet in a manner no one would question, to the little window. If you looked sideways you could almost see her twirling in her pink tutu skirt.
He obliged, and for the next forty minutes I took turns with the other parents in the un-airconditioned closet, trying to spy through the small mirrored window to get a peek of the baby girl. I knew this room would be too much for Jacob, and I suggested to my husband that they go run a few errands. All the little girls shuffled into the dance studio room while the adults remained in the itty bitty space. This teeny tiny closet was the waiting or viewing room. As we opened the door, we were greeted by about twenty adults and the same number of littles smooshed into a room the size of a closet. After descending the stairs, we located the Butterfly Room for three year olds. We figured out where we were to be, and headed to the dance studio, searching out the "Butterfly Room". So yes, things were slightly crazy as Jacob was interrupting me during my conversation with the gal at the desk all the while little girls in tutus fluttered around us in the much too hot room. Sure, Jacob was a little excited about the dance class, which means he was asking a million questions while I was trying to bring up my confirmation email on my phone to prove that we had indeed signed the baby girl up and paid ahead of time, because they did not have any information on us.
