It's finally done! I was going to have 2 pieces of wood along the border, but I think one will do just fine (as the other one did not want to stick on the wall with double-sided tape!). Hmm... maybe I do need to just paint the border then on the other side. Does that mean it's still only 95% done??!
Anyway... here's the height chart in the personalized party magazine where this whole idea came about:
So I saved myself $24.99 + shipping! :-)Graham's first height measured on his birthday (May 22) was 28 1/2".
The doctor's office did measure him at 29"... but we'll just stick with what Daddy and I measured him at. Looks like I'm going to need a brighter/lighter pen to mark the height! I did sort of think about that when I was painting the border brown. Oh well! I'm so proud of myself though for being able to just use all my sample paint!
I am bummed that we're not using the other piece of wood because it took me forever to saw it (with my $1 little hand-saw from the Dollar Store)!
We do have a circular saw but the battery was really low and it did not work very well. So, a project that would have taken just 5 minutes probably took me 45 minutes! I wish Daddy would just buy me a nice workbench too!Graham is definitely getting taller. He is tall enough now to play the piano while standing. Perhaps he will one day play Moonlight Sonata for Daddy!
