So ballet dance must not be her thing...

Do we set ourselves up for failure when we expect so much for our children? We are told that we need to get them involved, let them explore life and encourage them to do things and learn what they like. Well, contrary to what I thought, Abigial doesn't care much for structured dance classes. The only time anything remotely caught her attention was when they played music and when she was able to play on the big blue mats. In a class of about 10 kids, Abigail told me "NO" I'm not sure how many times, ran around in circles, rolled around on the mats... Pretty much nothing what the rest of the group was doing! What is the fine line between just saying that a 2 year old won't be perfect and this just isn't her thing? Anyone? Should I say to myself that it was only her first class and we should try it again or save us the money and frustration and just find something else? I am slowly learning that what I think might be right for her is totally opposite of what she wants to do... This isn't supposed to happen until she is a teenager! HELP! Maybe we will look into a tumbling class this week...She will probably want to do ballet dance in that class... That would be my luck!
