DD called DH to pick them up 15 minutes early. Apparently it's not cool to stay at the Homecoming dance until it ends. Too funny!
She took ventilin to prevent an asthma flare up before they went to the school, her choice. She's had past asthma issues with too much laughing, dancing and night air. When her asthma flares during the night, I have to quickly figure out if it's allergy or asthma. I was so glad to see I did not need to ask her to take it. She did it for herself!
She had fun. She ate nothing. She had a couple bottles of water and never put them down until they were empty. My rule....put your drink down, never drink from it again. Toss and get a new one. I'd rather give her extra money for extra drinks. For allergies, cause someone else may take a drink from her bottle, for life, cause someone might drop something like a drug in it.
They had baked goods by the student council and packaged munchie snacks. DD said all the munchie snacks were in big bowls mixed together and people touching baked goods were touching them so she decided she did not want to eat or touch any of them.
They had chaperones in the bathrooms so those rooms were not messed up. (my worry, if someone gets sick after eating an allergen and you know, the toilet is not clean.....and she, oh never mind, it's gross to think of....but necessary.) I had told her to put toilet paper on the seat.
Sounds like the chaperones did a good job dealing with the kids that did arrive after drinking and there were a few kids who crashed the dance that the chaperones went on the prowl to kick out.
There was no special boy and no kissing opportunities to worry about. She mostly hung with her friends and danced with a few boys.
She came home, told me a few things, said her peak meter numbers were normal, went off to shower ...........and I feel sound asleep without worry.
This morning she is up, gabby and happy. She's going on an adventure to a huge corn maze with a friend. (Who's mom is a High School nurse - my favorite Mom to send her off with!)
First dance at High School, a success!
