So it has come to this

Calvin shooting 004The kids are out of school and I need to do some work.  Jennifer does her usual helpful thing and volunteers to take all four of ours, plus one guest, to the St. Louis Science Center.  Everything is great.

Then, as everyone is bustling around, I notice again something that bothered me last night–that when I’m leaning against the kitchen counter that I lose so much height that I am looking up at Calvin’s face when he is walking by.

I couldn’t leave it alone.  I stopped Calvin and stood up to reassure myself.  And I’m pretty sure I was still looking up!  My just-turned twelve-year-old is as tall or taller than me.

And only two months ago I posted this.

    I thought so! One of the flikr photos from Charis’s birthday party sure looked like Calvin might be taller than you, but I hadn’t yet gotten around to asking. Now you know how it feels!
