All those handsome gentleman!
This past weekend, Kolter was asked to walk his cousin down the red carpet for the Stapleton Highschool Jr./Sr. Prom. Well, in this case it was white but who's keeping track?!
We loaded the car with all the prom attire a six year old requires. The handsome tuxedo, dress shoes, shirt, tie, and extra hearing aid batteries. We loaded the car and made the trek to Stapleton.
There's still nothing out that way besides cattle and deer in case you have not travelled that way recently. Although there was a train that passed by which Kolter loved!
We arrive at Nikki's house. Kyle had this plan that he would enter the house with Kolter and tell her that her date was ready for a diaper change 😂 but, she was not home yet. It was a dud but made me laugh.
We all got ready and headed to Prom. Pictures first, as always! I walked my ever so handsome young man up to meet his beautiful date for pictures. He stood beside her looking so grown! They smiled, laughed, Nikki tried to steal a hug or two, then they were off to Grand March.
I waited with Kolter beside the stairs because his date was nervous she would fall. Kolter was less than pleased that Nikki could not maneuver the staircase. He loves stairs, I think almost as much as popsicles!
They met in the middle and walked the carpet. As an MD mom, something so simple as walking a beautiful lady down the red carpet is truly amazing. I often reflect back on the "we are not certain he will walk" days. Those were some of the hardest days of my life. More on that chapter of our lives later!
They successfully completed the Grand March in style and I couldn't be more proud. Proud of Kolter for continuing to do everything his heart desires regardless of the MD. Proud of Nikki for being different than the norm and asking Kolter to escort her. It is something we will never forget!
The whole experience was wonderful and I am sooooo glad Mother Nature decided it should be a good weather weekend.
Shout out to Madison W for working my weekend shifts so I could be there!
Shout out to Needles and Pins for the tuxedo rental. They had one size, way at the top. After a step stool and ladder change, we discovered it was a 5T tuxedo. Perfect fit!
