He's growing up!!

W4/22/16

A's first dance tonight!!!!!

I think I should be able to go too!!

Can I sit in a corner and make sure he's okay???

Hahaha, ummm never mind. I guess that'd be creepy! Hahaha

I'm just worried kids will pick on him

Friend's advice:
1. Let him fly out of the nest mom! Only thing worse then getting picked on at the dance is having your mom there butting in making it worse lol"
2. "Agreed, my parents always want to chaperone every dance and it used to piss me off so badly… Don't be that mom!
3. However, Eric now has added "you do whatever you need to do- you can't trust those little bastards." 😜"

So, I'm with Eric!! I'm feeling like a nervous hen but so proud of him at the same time. He has always flat out turned these things down in the past! I'm thinking he feels more confident and secure?!

Beaver and I went to the store and we picked out three outfits. we brought the outfits home and let him decide which one he wanted to wear; He picked the one Beav picked out...OMG

Not the cute American Eagle outfit that I chose!

This is hilarious!!

He is so excited, had a grand entrance complete with curtain to show us, then he wanted me to kiss him. Then he asked to bring one of the (4week old) carnations that beaver gave me to a girl he likes, I respond..."there will be times for flowers, this is not it."

Okay, so...mom tried to do the hair...he said it makes him look scared!! Hahaha! So, Dad to the rescue!!

So now here we all are, in the bathroom...including all three pooches who want to be in on the excitement!

In the car I gave him $10, $6 to get in and $4 for refreshments. Made a hilarious comment that I can't remember now...I'll fill it in later!


Okay, so we were WAY early to drop him off so we sat on a side road until it was closer to the time! We dropped him off and the DJ van was there and it was all so exciting and real!  He got out of the car then came around to my window. I rolled it down, he leaned in kissed me and reached
Over to squeeze Beav's hand!

So very thankful for these amazing moments and memories!!

Now we wait to hear all about it!!!!

Okay, so he came out like this...belt off and around his neck like a scarf, snacks in each hand and a glow stick dangling from his teeth...

And said, "That was fun, I think I'm going to go to more dances!!" Yup, the only kid that came out with a plate of cookies for his parents, a bag of popcorn, and two red vines wrapped up in a napkin and tied, like a present, with a streamer! Very sweet!

What was your favorite part? " I don't really know." When pressed for more, "I can't choose, I liked it all!"

Did you dance at all? "Somewhat...I danced a little!"

We told him, "We've decided that we are going to chaperone the next dance." "Oh no you're not." (Shaking head furiously) Why not? "You'll embarrass me, you don't know how to whip, nay-nay, or do any of the modern moves!" 

Bahahahahaha!!! #signusup!!
