Nov. 19, 2009 - Tracking growth
I was looking for an old picture today, and I never found the one I wanted, but I did find this one.
When my oldest son was 1, we bought our first home. I painted his room all sorts of fun colors, then on the inside of his closet door, I started a growth chart, and when I marked his height, I also traced his hand on to the door. We moved out of that home when he was 4 and my second son was 5 months, and while I am not proud I threw a fit when my husband said I had to leave the door. My sweet sister in law and brother in law worked together to distract him and remove the door and "hide" it in the moving truck anyway!
So I still have my door and we still use and cherish it!
And just for fun here is a peak into his old room :
(this was before I developed my view that too many toys are NOT a good thing for children, and learned to really love simplicity! At 2 years old he had more toys than all 3 of my children put together do now! )
cute colors... I like the idea of the hand prints on the growth chart.. that is a neat idea. We have a door too... the back of the bathroom door. We usually measure once a year. :-)
