Thank you sooooo much for all your thoughts! It was an interesting night for my daughter and I. She had a great time and danced a lot. We had a couple of hiccups: her shoes broke so I had to get her another pair. We forgot to get the boy a corsage, so I ran to the flower shop to get one made. Thank God the flower lady was willing to make one on the spot after I pleaded...I missed the limo at one girl's house, drove to the beach house where pictures were being taken, missed that one too and finallly caught up with the limo on the freeway after following it for about 5 miles. I knew the next stop was dinner at an Italian restaurant, so I got there before them. My daughter was surprised to see me there but my excuse was the corsage. I was the only parent this time and I felt embarrassed because I did not want the kids to think I was following them. Later on, I showed up at the beach house to pick her up but no one was there. My heart stopped. Luckily I had one of the moms' phone number and she told me I was at the wrong house...I had followed the written itinerary the girls had put together but somehow during the night this important piece of information changed and I was not aware of it. My daughter was waiting at the first home where they got all dressed up earlier. My heart was pounding and I couldn't wait to hear all about her night! She told me she had fun, she danced and enjoyed being with friends. One of the things she said was the highlight of her night was that when another boy was hitting on her, her date told him to back off. He took care of my little girl as he had promised. A night of fun and apprehension that I will treasure forever and so will my baby.
