growing

This morning, Juma called out to me from his bedroom, "Mom! I've grown!"

"Oh yeah?" I said, a little skeptical.

"Yeah. Do you know how I can tell?"

"How?"

"I can turn on the light in my room without having to use the stool!" The light in there is rather high up, and the switch has to be turned rather than pushed.

So we measured him on the chart we've been using for the past 18 months, and he's grown a good inch in the past month! People kept telling me he seemed to have just spurted up, but I didn't believe them. Silly me.
