Kaylee got her prom dress a couple weeks ago. It's a pretty mint green fancy thing. Her shoes matched and her hair appointment was scheduled. Tonight she cried and said she isn't going because she doesn't feel like she looks pretty. It hurt. I said she can do whatever she wants. We told her she's beautiful but she said everyone is tanning and she feels like she's pasty and pale. Kaylee cried and to see your kid cry because of something out of her control is heartbreaking.
I am for whatever she wants. If she wants to sleep, let her sleep. If she wants to eat, eat. If she wants to sit out prom, sit it out! We agreed with her that next year will be a good year if she wants to go. No worries. I think sometimes you forget about other people's feelings. I never knew Kaylee had worries about skin color or anything like that but she does. So will be fine and she would have looked nice. I feel bad that she feels bad but she'll be fine and next year's prom will be here before we know it.
