So after much pressure from his friends, Wesley finally asked his friend Mandy to Prom. I was shocked. He spent one Saturday aerating lawns and then that night, when he was sure he'd have some money, he went over and asked her. I was thrilled. I want him to have all the experiences that high school has to offer, but I don't want to force him, or pay for it all! I also feel it is important that he give the girls an opportunity to go also.
I did go out and buy him a suit. We decided not to waste money on a tux. I don't think he minded not having a tux and now he can wear a suit to church. I thought they looked great. They had a fun time at the dance and stayed most of the night. I think it will make him more excited for next years' school activities.
So the week before he went to Prom another girl asked him to MORP. This is what he found in his bedroom when he got home. I'm not sure why she chose to ask this way, but the plastic dummy was pretty impressive. He wanted to answer her by hanging the dummy on the porch and saying "I'm dying to go to MORP with you!" I wouldn't let him, I thought it sounded a little morbid! I wish I had pictures from that dance. I'll have to do a little scanning once I see them.
