Yesterday, I went with Joe, his mom, his godmother, and his younger brother, to go rent a tuxedo...this is the scene.
Joe: I don't wanna wear a tux, Isis, do I *have* to?
Me: Yes! *said sternly*
Joe: *turns and walks away from me and out of the store*
Me: Joseph stop acting so childish, it's only a tux!!
Joe: *comes back to me with head lowered and shoulders slumped* I don't really want to wear a tux, I'm going to be constricted.
Me: Just look at the jackets, please?
Joe: Fine.

Finally after whining, he found one that he liked. He then tried the jacket on.
Joe's Mom: Oh look at you!
Joe's Godmother: What do you think, Ashley?
Me: I think he's going to look so cute!
Joe: I'm not cute!!
Me: You're going to look so handsome, Joe.
Joe: I feel constricted.
Me: Oh stop your complaining, you're not wearing high heels and a dress. It'll be nice to see you in something other than camo.
Joe's Mom: You should wear normal clothing for once, Joey.
Joe's Godmother: I agree, Joey, it'd be nice to see you dress like a normal boy.
Me: Yeah, Joe, I mean you don't have to paint your clothes on like your brother but a pair of jeans and t-shirt wouldn't kill you!
Joe's Mom: She has a point.
Joe's Godmother: She told him!
Bobby: There's nothing wrong with what I wear! *His pants are so tight, you see everything. They look like they're painted on, we don't think he's going to be able to procreate when he gets older because of lack of oxygen to that area. *

Then Joe tried on the shirt and complained he didn't like the buttons. He was not a happy camper on the outside, but secretly he was enjoying the attention and being fussed over and called handsome. So in the end, he ended up with a black tux, that is the exact one, minus the tie and vest. [link]

We're using the tie from this set. [link]

And the vest from this set. [link]

He's gonna look soooooo handsome! I can't wait for May 14th when we pick up the tux. I'm gonna take TONS of pictures of Joe. He's totally NOT gonna like it...oh well!!

Now to figure out what to do for my hair. Ugh, it's so confusing what to do. I'm thinking of a half ponytail, the ponytail then curled into a few spirals and then the bottom half curled as well, or get the classic retro curls from the 40's. I might just do it myself and just scrunch it and twirl two pieces and just have it like that with a few hair clips. Any suggestions?
