I found a wrinkle-free, VanHeusen shirt at Ross's for 12.99. AWESOME deal! The night of the dance, one of his friends came over and the minute he walked past me, I could smell cologne. This spurred a variety of topics of converstion between the kids and myself.....starting with whether or not Eric wanted to wear cologne. "What cologne? I don't have any cologne? Why would I wear that?" So we got out a bunch of different kinds from Todd and tested them. I was the tester....because I'M the girl! In the end, he chose my favorite, Elsha!! From there, his friend brought up the topic of zits and I suggested ways to cover them up. I whipped out my foundation and my tinted Clearasil (yes, sadly, I'm still an avid user at 40), and we worked on a few. Eric was a little annoyed that I hadn't ever mentioned any of these tips to him before. Well, he's never asked! (Sorry, son). It was a fun time for me, listening to he and his friend talk about girls (okay, mostly the friend talked about girls), but it was still cool.
When Eric came out all dressed in his black attire and purple tie, I said, "Wow, you look HOT!" To which Todd replied, "Did you just call our son 'HOT'?" I admit it.....I did! And he DID look hot! So why not say it? :)
Here is his picture......
See what I mean? After the dance, he came home and declared that he danced EVERY SINGLE SLOW DANCE of the evening......and exclaimed, "Why would I dance the fast ones? That's just boring!" Hhmmmmm......should I be worried? They had a good time and it was great to see him so excited!

How fun! He is really growing up! I swear, he was 5, like, yesterday.
If I was ... say 15 ... I would definately think he was hot! Just for kicks I pulled up the blog and asked my niece for her unbiased 16 year old opinion and he is definatly hot!
He's not only adorable but one good kid. You deserve to be proud.
Keep him away from my daughter, ok?
