Really bad start to the day

Even though Little Gym is not until 10:45 on Mondays I always consider it the start to our day, because we hardly ever leave the house before that. Well Little Gym was the worst it has been since we started the non-mommy and me class. Kelsie refused to go in without me and even after I agreed to stay in the class she didn't want to participate at all! She sat on the sideline during the warm-up, she refused to line up with the rest of the kids when they were going to their stations (they have the activities divided into 3 stations that they go through each class), and even when she finally went over to the one station she wanted to check out all she did was walk around. She didn't do any of the activities there!

She then asked to go use the potty, but it turned out to be a ploy! She just wanted to get out of the class and once we were out she refused to go back inside. She did eventually go to the potty before we left, but she never went back into class. Instead we left and she proceeded to have a 15 minute tantrum in the car to the point we had to force her into her car seat, so we could leave! After we finally wrangled her into her seat she then wanted to go back into class! Unfortunately it was over by this point, so we just left with her screaming and flailing in frustration. She finally grabbed my elbow and slowly calmed down. Elbows and sucking her thumb are a effective way to get her calmed down, but she has to be on her way to calming down before you can even try it.

After she was done with the fit she was fine again. We went and had lunch with Aunt KK and Uncle Prestley (Mike's Aunt and Uncle who were in from San Antonio) and you would think nothing happened. She had a few little issues with noises and her booster seat, but for the most part she was fine. She even went to the potty while we were there!

I am assuming a big part of the problem was that she was tired, because she took a 3 hour nap today! Her typical naps only last about 1 1/2 hours. I guess the time change is messing with her. I really hope that is all it was, because otherwise we will have to reevaluate our enrollment in Little Gym again.
