Yeah, i hope, just like you said, that now it starts to evolve into a beautiful plant . The new leaves come out looking beautiful and healthy but when you least expect them they die... and just notice the leaves below these newer ones, now they are curling their tip upwards and the serration on the side of it is curved downwards...I just wanted to pop in an mention that when a plant is very young like this, it can be a little rough until the plant gets some roots down. For some reason, all of my seedlings get off to a rough start when transplanted to soil. (I start in pete pellets and move to soil such as happy frog). Young plants are sensitive to nutrient loaded soil, but they get hungy fast.
So, basically the first few sets of leaves are only temporary. As more leaves come in and the roots go deeper, the plant can bounce back nice and healthy. You could start over, but I think this one will get healthy soon. The new leaves look healthy to me, I think you plant is getting ready to take off !
Be careful not to overwater, they dont need a lot when they are this small. (looking at your soil it seems to be decently watered, I dont see overwatered soil..)
