Tough love for a 3 year old...

Tuesday night was a test session in Becca's group skating classses, so we used her private lesson to prepare and make sure she was able to do the skills. She has really wanted to move up a level so that she can be with her friends that were in the ice show. During her private lesson she flew through the requirements and had every one of them down. I was so excited for her! Then came time for the group lesson. Instead of going out and skating, she stood on the wall and refused to complete any skills when asked. She was not passed on to the next level. We told her that she had to stay in beginner 1 another session and she was upset, but I think it will really hit her when she goes and sees the other girls in the other class.

I thought that she might have learned her lesson, but when she went to gymnastics yesterday she ran all over the place and wouldn't do what she was supposed to do. She was warned 3 times that she wouldn't get a gold coin at the the end of the class if she didn't quit running away, but she still wouldn't listen. She really sobbed at the end of class when she didn't get a gold coin. It wasn't just her, there was another little girl in her class that was having the same issue and didn't get a gold coin either.

Here's to hoping she is a quick learner!
