how do you define old?
My 11 year old son, you know, the one with the cherubic face in the last posting, is now about an inch taller than me. I mentioned that he is only 11? An inch, not shorter, taller. When did this happen? I have been keeping an eye on the marks on the kitchen doorway and they have been safely below the critical threshold. He went to bed one day and woke up three inches taller. Last Dr visit, which was not that long ago, I think, anyway, it was within the past year, he was 2 inches shorter. How does a kid grow three inches without warning? How much bigger does he get? Where am I goign to find clothes to fit this anomaly? I have an even cuter picture of him somewhere, while still a baby baby, like three moths old. We had one of those inhome professional photographers come in, and he is in a little red and white striped baseball uniform complete with hat. It is the most precious thing you have ever seen. Sigh.

Isn't it the truth?? Pants are the worst because they are either too big to be long enough, or too short to fit up top! Where do our babies go???
He is just big all over, all arms and legs. Poor kid is already into size 18 pants. Lucky he is tall enough that they usually aren't too long, unless we go to mens sizes, then they all come in 32 waist, 32 length, when his inseam is probably 28 inches. I get him the pants with the zip off legs, that way he can adjust as needed.
