Another kid will head to high school for each of the next three years.<br /><br />Yes, Phoenix is taller now. In May of last year, Phoenix and I were the same height (just a touch under 5'7") Now, he is taller than my husband, who is 5'10". Out of 45 boys in his class, he's third tallest. (I only know that because they lined the kids up in height order. I don't follow him around with a yardstick.)<br />Thank you!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-41342220447687449562013-05-29T22:57:16.097-04:002013-05-29T22:57:16.097-04:00Thank you!

We've survived 9th grade 2x now you can too! He's got a few years growing left on him look out dad! Btw just curious is B wearing those Bermuda shorts with his coat. Hahahah I started to laugh when I thought of that. With head shot only he could easily be pulling off a pair of pastel pink shorts with coat and tie. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-43859121067175365262013-05-29T19:28:49.198-04:002013-05-29T19:28:49.198-04:00Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bless his boot *hugs* He's ...Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bless his boot *hugs* He's a credit to you.
