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.
