i know this is a very american thing,newish and there are probably lots of reasons why we shouldnt have them ....but
my son has his tonight. He has autism and its pretty much the first social thing he has ever been really keen to go to, especially on his own and in an unfamiliar place. He didnt want to wear a bow tie, so hes got a new suit, his first one, new shoes, a shirt and tie he chose himself and a haircut.
His older brother is helping him get ready now, evening up his sideburns ( younger son is still mastering shaving! ), sorting his tie, slipping him some money for drinks ( he didnt think i saw and he didnt do it to make himself look good to me ) .
im so proud of my boys..my older son cares so much for his brother without disempowering him, and the beam on younger ones face is huge ! He's come so far from the lad who would not speak to anyone for years.
Think I might have a lump in my throat  |

Kids, like holding the beauty of a butterfly oh so briefly but letting go, you know it makes sense but you want to hold on a little longer. 
I hope he has a fabulous night, your boys sound great young gentlemen. xxxxx |

Wishing him a wonderful evening and you are able to relax and not worry how he is doing. Sometimes kids just make you so proud for a brief moment more than normal day to day proudness.
Kids are fab arent they x
Keep us up todate with how he enjoyed it |
