She Passed Me!

It's official. My eldest daughter, 12 1/2 years old, has now passed me in height. We discovered it on Sunday doing our usual ritual of "Am I taller than you?" measuring. She immediately shared it with everyone who would listen.

Sigh. I guess I might as well succomb to it. We're entering that stage now. You know, the one where I need to let go when I want to clutch tighter. Yeah, that one.

When I got taller than my mom, I started quoting Darth Vader lines to her!

When my oldest son got taller than me, we had to "re-affirm" my leadership a time or two! ;)

Mine's 12 and 3 months. She's met me at just a centimeter shy of 5'8"!

Terrible. Simply terrible.
