My Princess's Prom

What they don't tell you about prom day is that the process of you getting to the prom is not a piece of cake. There is much behind what goes on before you get to the big day.

The day of my daughters prom was memorable to me. I got her a beautiful black dress with sparkling glitter. On the day of her prom we got up early and had breakfast. Tamara was so excited but nervous at the same time. We then went to the hair salon to get her hair done. I had to go back home to do some things, so I left her there. An hour later Tamara comes back home crying. "Mom look at what they did to my hair its all big and frizzy!". They didn't do her hair the right way. She wanted her hair loose with curls. She looked like Diana Ross for crying out loud! I must say her hair smelled like a bouquet of flowers, but not attractive looking at all! I yelled, "Tamara were running a little late so we have no time to waste!" So I quickly re-did her hair in an up do and put a pretty little hair clip on it that I had in the house. It actually looked really nice. She said, "You saved my prom day, Mom, Thanks. What would I do with out you? You did a better job than the hair salon!" Then I did her make up with sparkling eye shadow to match her dress. She got dressed and WOW she looked so elegant just like a princess! We got in the car and went to the prom. As we got out her friends were there so I took some pictures of them.

She then hugged me and said, "Thanks Mom". She started walking in and waved to me with a big smile on her face. At that moment it had hit me. My little girl is growing up.
