He's Growing Up

My Darling Oldest has his first band festival this weekend. Luckily for him, it is being held at his school, so his first competition will at least be in familiar surroundings. So for today, Friday, the "Band Geeks" as they call themselves are dressing in their concert wear. I was able to talk him into wearing his really dark blue pants ( I have trouble deciding if these are blue or black, depending on the light) instead of the black, and he is wearing his short sleeve white dress shirt instead of the long sleeve he will need for tomorrow. This way I don't have to rush around getting his real concert clothes washed for tomorrow. He also has on a tie, and for the first time has tied it himself. He has tried to tie it before, but I have always ended up having to fix it. Today's tie looks good. He's lost 30 pounds in the last year, so he is looking really good. Tall and slim and dressed to the 9's. Maybe he'll be irresistable to the ladies today.......
