The Princess & the gymnastics class

When I found out I was pregnant with Sophia, I was beyond ecstatic, I was so happy to have a little princess.  And now that I am pregnant again (almost 5 weeks), I am thinking I'd like to have another little princess.  However, last night at gymnastics started to change my mind....

Wednesday nights, Sophia has gymnastics class.  She lives for gymnastics, she might be my little princess but she is the gymnastics Queen. So, we take her to gymnastics class, I prepare her and tell her she can't keep coming out of class without telling Mrs. Janet, and I try to tell her what to do if other little girls are mean to her.  She gets her feelings hurt so easily.  I tell her that if a little girl tells her she can't do something or whatever they might say to her, she should just say, "you need to be nice!" and walk away.  (Or something along those lines).  So here she is ready to go in, and she decides, she doesn't want to go to gymnastics anymore.  I'm heart broken at this.  How can my little gymnast not want to go in anymore?  This is what she lives for!  So, Daddy finally talks her into going in.  She stayed in for most of the class, then at the end she came out with the excuse that she had to pee (even though she just went before class).  Needless to say, she did not go to the bathroom. And she used the excuse that a little girl was mean to her.  Daddy and I don't believe this, so he takes her back in.  Mrs. Janet said she did great!  I guess she is just intimidated.  I hope some other little girl will introduce herself to Sophie and want to be her friend because I don't see her doing it on her own. :(

This morning I am telling Ang (Daycare) about it and she is telling me how her daughter is the same way.  And then she tells me how her friends (sisters and their cousin) used to be mean to the neighbor girl because she had short hair, they would tell her that she couldn't be a part of the long haired club.  WTH!  Why are girls so mean!?!  I know when I was in 3rd grade, I was in a little click of girls and the two "ring leaders" would decide each week that we wouldn't talk to one of us.  Well, my mom told me I shouldn't do that because they will do it to me one week and it won't be nice, and they did.  I can't remember if I participated though, but I know it hurt my feelings when my so-called friends weren't speaking to me for no reason, for an entire week!  Not a very nice thing to do Stefanie and Emily! (the two ring leaders).  I will not let my daughter be a part of that shenanigans!  I will teach her to be nice!  So, now I'm wondering...maybe I do want a little boy?  I don't know if I can handle this with two girls!  I will be in jail more than I will be home!  LOL
