What is a mother to do?

It was a busy, yet anticipated TGIF Thank God It's Friday!) for me.  My son just left for his second senior prom of the year.  He is accompanying a neighbor and long time friend.  This is expected to be a fun filled night for him.  He wore a black tux with komabon, formal tie, the works.  He went to the barber shop and got his hair cut about two days ago.  His dad ironed his shirt.  My son picked out the clothes he would wear to the movies and late night dinner.  My husband took all the pictures.... all fifty of them.  What was it for me to do?  The mother?  I just stood by and watched.  I was proud but there was little for me to do.  That's when it started becoming more real that he is moving more and more into manhood.  Isn't that what all mothers want of their boys?  YES!  But I missed my "baby boy."   The one that used to ask how do I look, do you like my hair cut, are you going to be up when I get back, etc.   He is growing up!  Becoming a man!  AND I LIKE THAT VERY MUCH!
