I didn’t know kids have a prom in elementary school these days. When I was my son’s age, we never had a prom. If they did, I didn’t even know about it. Anyway, the whole thing was sort of bad planning on my part. I had 2 months in advance to have him get fitted for a tux and order a corsage for his date but I did everything at the last minute.
I had placed an order for a corsage the night before the prom, hoping it’ll be available the next day for pickup. I got a call from the florist the following morning telling me that it’s not available *gasp* I swear I thought I was gonna die. My son is gonna hate me for this. Then the florist told me he could make something similar to it, and I told him as long as it looks similar and pink, anything is good, the sooner the better, then he said great, it’ll be ready by 12. What a relief.
This week he got a tux given to him from school. Don’t ask me why or how but I feel lucky that they did. If it wasn’t for them, I’m screwed! I wanted to smack myself in the head for not having him try it on the day he got it, cuz the night of the prom we found out that the tux was big. So he ended up wearing one of his own black pants. I totally forgot to buy him a white shirt so he borrowed my dad’s, luckily it fits. And I couldn’t find my dad’s suit jacket, so he wore the one from school. It’s a tad big but it’s hardly noticable.
It was so rushed that he had to leave to meet up with his date. I didn’t get a chance to meet with them, it would’ve been nice to take a few pictures before they went in. I bet they look so cute together. I did manage to take a couple of shots of him before he left. Isn’t he handsome?

He’s really excited, can’t you tell?

It’s very pretty and glittery in person
He also received his cap and gown this week. I can’t believe how big he’s gotten. Felt like only yesterday when he was in diapers and learning how to walk with a pacifier in his mouth, running about. And when I give him a hug, it puts a big smile on his face. Nowadays, he gets embarassed and wants to hang with his friends. Oh God, I’m gonna cry
So for anyone who has little ones, enjoy them while you can cuz they’re not gonna be babies for long. Before you know it, their voice is gonna change and start growing hair all over the place and they’re not gonna want to hang with you anymore.

Aww, what a handsome young man you have there!
I keep asking my husband, “Are the boys going to let me hug and kiss them still when they get older?” He says, “probably not”. *tears*
I am soooo taking advantage of their young age right now. I have 2 boys, ages 8 and 7.

Hey Mama Shanti,
Thanks hun for stopping by le bloggy blog and popping in to leave some nice words on there
And you’re more than welcome for the NYX swatches.I love their lipsticks and am on a rampage to own all the non-shimmery ones, lol!
Awww… your son is so handsome! And wow! Prom during elementary school? Where was this school back in my days??
I totally agree with you about how they grow up so fast. My oldest turned 2 in February and my youngest just turned 8 months a couple of days ago (still young but I’m soaking up the days!!!). And a few hours ago Hubbo helps the baby in those mobile walkers and says, “he’s not a baby anymore”
I wanted to cry!!! *sniffle* Not to mention I was just going through some baby pictures of my eldest. Oh the time… where does it go :/
Ok, sorry for rambling
Hah. I hope you’re having a great week so far girl. Keep up the good work you got going on this blog of yours as well as for that hardworking position you hold called “MOMMY”. Thanks again for stopping by and I do hope you’ll continue to visit
Take care, love!
