Everyone’s been saying Vincenzo looks a lot taller lately but you know, I don’t think he’s getting all that tall. I mean, look at him next to me:
Wait, camera person where are you going? Stop backing up!
Okay, fine. I’ll take the wedge heels off. He still just comes up to my chin.
I often remind Vincenzo that I’m still taller than him. Like when we’re picking blackberries on the trail, I make sure to tell him that if he can’t reach any, to call me over since I’m so much taller than him. At the ice cream store I came up behind him and tried to lift him up so he could see the flavors. When he stands close enough to me I thank him for bringing me my armrest.
Okay, so maybe he is encroaching on my height, and maybe I’m having a bit of a hard time with it.
I’ve seen this very thing happen to other moms, how one year the Christmas card makes sense and the parents are standing there like the demigods and rulers they are and then the next year, the demigods look like an older, smaller, and possibly shrinking versions of themselves.
I just kinda thought I’d always be the right height for my family. Like this:
Instead of *just barely* this:
Kids these days. They ain’t got no respect for their 5-foot-3-inch mothers.
But hey, every cloud has a silver lining. Now Vincenzo and I wear the same shoe size and can finally swap shoes with each other!
Well he definitely gets the better deal there.
