I look forward to it.<br /><br />@ Carrie - I love the idea of a fancy prom alternative. Dressing up is such a big part of the mystique for girls. <br /><br />Meg, as I said over at the Betty's, I don't really think that the prom was a viable option for One. He needed you to steer him to the better option. Well done.Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13666435444428274884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318625078248654911.post-42289055575298261792011-06-17T12:52:09.712-04:002011-06-17T12:52:09.712-04:00Yay!

(It should be "mistress," obvi, but then the allusion makes no sense.)<br /><br />Great posts - both here and over there. I think it makes complete sense to steer One towards the more inclusive and more fun Graduation Night. As June pointed out over on the 'Verse, a prom without a date would not be fun for almost any kid. You gave him great advice and steered him away from a potentially difficult situation. In other words, you were being a vigilant mom!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12464208061753089593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318625078248654911.post-38944660879604075182011-06-17T11:31:36.574-04:002011-06-17T11:31:36.574-04:00Now, perhaps they do things differently in NJ, but...Now, perhaps they do things differently in NJ, but in IL prom is a socially-awkward situation focused on music and dancing for kids who have regrettable taste in music and absolutely no skill at dancing. ;)<br /><br />One of my friends who homeschools her kids worked with some other homeschool moms to create a small-scale alternative to prom (that included pretty dresses and up-dos, not that either of those apply to One) for their daughters who aren't dating yet. They had fun, they took tons of pictures, and they created awesome memories of their own.<br /><br />That's a long way of saying I don't think it's so important that One have <i>Prom Memories</i> as it is that he have <i>Fun Memories From High School Of Some Sort</i>. ;)DrCarrieThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360013081404711133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318625078248654911.post-67947691847978197832011-06-17T07:29:38.096-04:002011-06-17T07:29:38.096-04:00Go you!
