Measure

Last July, we convinced Miss T. to sort-of-sort-of stand against a wall and made a little tick mark. She's grown a lot since then, through two sizes of clothes, and this morning we figured we'd try again.

I tried to grab the pencil quickly, but I wasn't fast enough to block the NEED. She threw her head back preparing to cry... and hit the wall.
