He has really blossomed in the last four years, and not dragging him to church has helped.
His Girlfriend has a TBM dad but she's not going to church. HER FRIEND nominated the two of them for homecoming royalty.
I doubt they'd even be in the lineup, the school has over 1200 kids, but it does mean he'll be going to the dance!
So I took him to Pennys and showed him what I'd NEVER insist he'd wear. Showed him what would look good in a few years if he wanted to dress up.
Found the perfect shirt for him on the clearance rack. (Woo Woo)
Then realized he no longer has dress or 'sunday shoes'.
So as I'm stressing on how to dress him in basic black like Johnny Cash, a look that works well for the young men in my family, he tells me the theme of homecoming is 'Avatar", as in the movie!
So do I give him a loin cloth and paint his body blue??? Or let it turn blue because the dance is in October when it starts getting cold here? Or do I put him in army/marine dress wear??? LOL!
What do the kids wear to homecoming? I'm sure his date is not going to dress like the people of Avatar, but in a semi formal.
It's so funny, he is now 16, going on an official date with a girl whose family (father at least) is Mormon!! All the kids in the school and he ends up with someone who is from a part member home???? :D!!!!!
