Mother-Son, Father-Daughter Valentine's Dance

Me: Diego this is what I am wearing tonight. (As I pull out a brand new, never worn, eggplant purple top and Dark denim jeans, with black shiny heels... a nice outfit that looks both dressy but comfortable)

Diego: You're wearing that to the dance...? (We both stare at each other for a split second)

Diego: Ok Mommy whatever you want...

Me: (Of course now I am doubting myself) Is that not okay... What did you want me to wear?

Diego: Well I just thought you were going to wear a pretty dress... so you could look beautiful... and my friends can see what a pretty Mom I have.

Oh man this kid can melt my heart. Seriously he's the absolute BEST SON any mom could ever ask for! And what did I do to get so lucky? I swear I think I am the luckiest girl in the whole world and NO ONE can tell me any different!

So Friday Diego invites me to be his date for the Mother-Son/Father-Daughter Valentines Dance at his school. Of course I accepted and we looked forward to it the last few days.

So tonight we got ready... of course me in a dress... per Diego's request and he got all cleaned up for me too. It was so cute to see all the excitement he had. He even asked Grandpa to spray some of his grown-up cologne on him... apparently Lightning McQueen cologne wasn't enough for this occasion... I'm flattered!

So we arrive and they have it all set up like a Hollywood affair. Lot of Mom's with their sons (this is a Mom type of thing) but I was surprised to see so many father's there as well with their daughters. So sweet. Everyone was dressed up and looking all cute!

We even got to walk down the red carpet and we got to pose in a hollywood cutout.

At the beginning of the night I gave Diego $1 to spend on whatever he wanted... they had cookies, cupcakes, punch, candy, and even some Jamba Juice... but instead he went with a friend and bought me a flower! He's so sweet. But then I had to dig out $3 more to buy him his sweets.

So we had a great time. Diego danced the night away and I had so many moms tell me he was a great dancer. I'll upload some videos tomorrow cuz it's getting late.

I took a few more pictures but they are mostly with his friends... and since I don't have permission to post their pictures... I won't. Surprisingly, I didn't taketoo many because I was so focused on having a great time with my son. It was kinda liberating to not worry about pictures and just have a great time... we laughed, ate, and danced our hearts out. It was a great date night.

And I couldn't have had a better gentleman at my side.
