It’s been a while since we’d measured Eaglet’s height, so we were startled to realize they’re now 4'6" (137cm). Somehow, being a full four and a half feet makes them seem more like an actual Big Kid than their turning 10.

Big Kid is mostly a size thing!

Several studies out there about how larger children get functionally shorter childhoods, because everyone you interact with thinks you're eight when you're five, sort of thing.

Many happy returns to Eaglet!

Heh. Thanks to a graphing data exercise done at school, we know Eaglet is middle of the pack in their class.

This seems auspicious!
