Second time around in 7 days. This one has a bit more excitement. Sure, this prom is at the rival high school over in Marsh Vegas. But the girl Coco is going with seems special to him. He won’t talk about girls and relationships much. Caz was much more open. But his excitement and mannerisms speak volumes though his silence.
We had a whirlwind afternoon getting ready. Coco had his shower and shave time planned down to the minute. He wanted his hair still wet for the styling session with Demi. He wanted to be on time for the photo shoot. He planned the travel time. He asked that this prom not be a big production. Yet Demi, Caz and I all went with him for pictures. Caz was a really good sport. He went willingly and enthusiastically. The girl’s family was very nice. Coco still gets squeamish that her Mom knows him Mom from the gym.
There is no vehicle procession at Marsh Vegas. I think that is actually better. The kids go and park their cars. The kids line up and then walk the carpet in the gym. The bleachers on either side are open to the public. They project the kids up on a big screen. It’s actually very orderly and nice. Coco was close to the end. He and she looked great. They had big smiles. He still had one when I picked him up at 1:30 am. I am happy that he was not driving. He would have been fine. It was the number of poor drivers I saw on my way to get him.
