A growth spurt?

 You know when you look at something one of your kids is wearing and think “I’m sure it wasn’t that short last time she had it on?”   All of a sudden Chloe’s dress suddenly seemed really short today (to the point that it made me question if I’d shrunk it in the wash!)  

Daddy whipped out his tape measure, the results are in.  Ben measures 40.5 inches (which is about the same as last time he was measured) and Chloe has shot up to 35 inches (which is about an inch taller than last time and explains why lots of her clothes suddenly seem too small!)

(Ben is well practiced now but Chlo was just moving away as I took this
picture – Daddy’s measuring isn’t as inaccurate as it looks!!)
