Prom brings a lot of excitement! For girls, it involves the Big Ask - how we he ask me?; choosing the dress; finding shoes that are cute, but don't hurt; finding just the right bag, the makeup; the hair; the nails...It can go on and on. somehow, I was luck enough to book Beyonce tickets in Canada efore I knew that my daughter's prom would be the next day.:) This means, that she had to handle nail, hair and makeup appointments on her own. Fortunately, she did her own makeup. She Ubered to have Shassity hook up her hair and did the same for a nail appointment up the road. There was a little drama involved with finding the right dress, but we managed to get it done in Chicago in ONE day!
I made it home just before she started to get dressed. Thank God my flight wasn't delayed! I grabbed my camera and got a couple of shots, which she is NEVER fond of...but does appreciate later. I embarrassed her in front of her friends for about 10 minutes and all went well. If there is any advice that I have for parents of kids who are headed to prom, it's to let them do the planning and just show up in time to fix any problems...and don't forget to hire a photographer or have a good friend capture the moments for you! It was an easy day for me and a stress-free one for her!
