"I know how to dance ballet."

Today was the last day of Inwe's six week summer pre-ballet class. I asked her if she wanted to take another class and her reply was, "No."

"Why not, Inwe?"

"I already know how to dance ballet. What more can I learn?"

"There's a lot more to learn."

"But, I can plie`."

"There's lots more jumps and positions and ways to put them all together."

"No, Mommy, I know everything."

I ended the conversation there. I'll have to work on her. She does like the class. She does follow the teacher. Now, how do I convince her that at 3 1/2 she doesn't know all there is to know about ballet?
