Another milestone
For some time now, I've known on an intellectual level that Henry is taller
than me, but the other day when he hugged me he rested his chin on the top of my head. Sigh. Having a very tall son makes the phrase "They grow up too fast" take on new meaning. He's only 12, and already he's nearly 5'10" Happy New Year, all! -Dawn Mom to Henry, 12 |

Having a very tall son makes the phrase "They grow up too fast" take on new meaning. He's only 12, and already he's nearly 5'10" Wow! Rose just hit 5' 6", and I thought that was tall enough. We are planning to ride the 200 mile STP this summer, but I am worried that our tandem (which is for a medium captain, ie, me; and a shorter stoker, supposedly her) is not going to fit by this summer. -- Warm Regards, Claire Petersky please substitute yahoo for mousepotato to reply Home of the meditative cyclist: http://home.earthlink.net/~cpetersky/Welcome.htm Personal page: http://www.geocities.com/cpetersky/ See the books I've set free at: http://bookcrossing.com/referral/Cpetersky |

When she's 12, I figure she'll be taller than a lot of them. I may sing a different tune when DS reaches his peak height. Happy New Year all! Scott DD 11 and DS 8.9 |

I know the feeling - my oldest son is 13, he's wearing size 12 1/2
men's shoes - like a puppy, he grew the feet first, and now the rest of him is catching up. I'm 5' 6" and he's just hit 5' 10" - and three or four inches of that height just sprouted over the last couple of months. I can't get used to him being so big! The laundry is getting interesting since I can't always tell at a glance whose clothing is whose between the DH and son. What happened to my baby!! Waaaah! Mary G. |

My daughter turned 10 (!) the day before yesterday. She's only 3 inches shorter than I am (though I'm an admittedly short 5 ft 3 in), but her shoe size is one bigger than mine (she's already wearing a women's 8 1/2)! Everyone keeps commenting to us on how big she's grown. I'm dreading the day, which will be soon enough, when I have to look *up* to her to give her a "dressing *down.*" beeswing, proud mom of a wonderful just-turned-10-year-old |

soon enough, when I have to look *up* to her to give her a "dressing *down.*" Yes, when Henry gets wistful about being taller than both of us, I just remind him that I'm more than happy to demonstrate that I'm still the Mom... ;-) -Dawn Mom to Henry, 12 |
