\n\u00a0 My mom, after reading <\/i><\/span>yesterday’s post<\/a>, wrote this little number in response. I suppose she had a thing or two to say in her defense!<\/i>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So, for those of you who might be wondering \u201cjust how tall was she?\u201d <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
7 yrs old \u2013 4\u2019 4\u201d \u2013 dr\u2019s note in file has \u201c97th +- <\/sup>\u00a0percentile for ht. and wt.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

8 yrs old \u2013 4\u20197\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

9 yrs old \u2013 4\u201910\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

10 yrs old \u2013 5 feet tall!!!<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

11 yrs old \u2013 5\u20194\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

12 yrs old \u2013 5\u20196\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

13 yrs old \u2013 5\u20197\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

14 yrs old \u2013 5\u20198\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
And don\u2019t get me started on shoe size!!\u00a0 At least a ladies size 7 or 8, around 4th<\/sup> grade.\u00a0 So, challenging to say the least.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
\nNo way were the dresses in the girls department long enough in length or in the sleeves, or fit in the shoulders.\u00a0<\/span>Try finding \u201clittle girl\u201d looking dresses and dress shoes in the woman\u2019s department of the <\/span>very few stores<\/u>in Carson or Reno at that time. <\/span>\u00a0Point taken…Though you’ve made me sound like a beast. \ud83d\ude09 Thanks….Mom. (J\/k) Maybe I was…<\/i><\/span>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd finding jeans and other pants that were long enough was a nightmare.<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0I had to let down many<\/span>\u00a0hems as far as they could go. Thank goodness you could work a needle!<\/i><\/span>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Dad tried to talk you into \u201cboy\u2019s jeans\u201d \u2013 as they came in longer lengths \u2013 but noooo\u2026 you wouldn\u2019t have any part of wearing boy\u2019s jeans. Yeah, I already LOOKED like a boy in the second grade, you think I wanted to dress like one too!? Alright, more on this later…<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
The \u201ccowboy themed\u201d concert?\u00a0 (Westward Ho!) –\u00a0 That was when you were in 4th<\/sup>grade\u00a0 (4\u201910\u201d tall.)\u00a0 We scoured Carson City for a shirt to wear \u2013 Anyone from Seeliger remember the \u201cBeef Jerkey\u201d song?\u00a0 You\u00a0loved those black tennis shoes, all you would wear were \u201cwhite tube socks\u201d and you did your own hair, BTW. Yes, Mom, I remember doing my own hair. But you LET me leave the house like that! \ud83d\ude09\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
Remember when you were in band in middle school and had to have white jeans for the parades?\u00a0 OMG!!!\u00a0 Really?\u00a0\u00a0 We finally found white jeans (In October, mind you) at the Boot Barn Western Wear \u2013 for $70.00 \u2013 for a pair of jeans that got worn, what, maybe twice? That was pretty nice of you…<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
\nBy fourth grade, you had very definite ideas on how to style your own hair, missy!\u00a0\u00a0 Which led to the \u201cUnit\u201d in Jr. High \u2013 and you know what I\u2019m referring to! <\/span>J<\/span>\u00a0I suppose I should reveal what this was…<\/i><\/span>\n<\/div>\n

<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
So, here\u2019s hoping that by the time Gwyneth is in 3rd<\/sup> or 4th<\/sup> grade, shopping for \u201cage appropriate\u201d clothing for little girls, that actually fit, is a whole lot easier now than it was back then. I sure hope so too, because my word! Some of what I wore was hideous! Though I know I’m not alone out there. I have proof in photos, people!<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
Love you! Love you too, Mom. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and for making sure I had what I needed, when I needed it. \ud83d\ude42<\/i><\/p>\n
