My kids grow more like the trees. Sometimes fast and sometimes slow, but totally anchored.
I showed you awhile back how we "chart" the growth of our kids and the aspen trees here.
I haven't shown you how we also chart their growth with a plum tree. We planted this plum tree our first spring in this house and in honor of Chewy's First Birthday!

It's called a Plum Tree, but we have yet to see real plums. The tree gets blossoms, it freezes here in the mountains, and we get NO plums. But we have a tree with leaves and that's a good thing. The tree hasn't died yet and that's also a good thing. It was a little slow to leaf out this year, not to mention that I took the picture in April and 2009 was taken in June. I might have to take another. (Yippee....it appears Biker Boy fixed our camera after the "dog can't swim incident.")How do you chart growth? Any special little things that you do? Have a great weekend celebrating the Fourth!
You can also check out how I chart growth in a more traditional way here.
