Standing Tall at 72!J and I were watching Friends again (for the 100th time) yesterday evening as ASTRO has nothing interesting before 8pm. At the beginning of every episode, Little Skywalker will pay his full attention to the big screen and patiently wait for his favourite theme song to begin.
Since we didn't manage to get him to stand up for a long time, I put him on his feet each time we come to the The Rembrandts song. It works! He managed to stand on himself for the whole duration of the song (maybe 2-3 minutes max)! I think is just a matter of distracting his attention to something else while he is standing. Or else, he will just stand for a few seconds and then stick his butt on the floor again.
After that, J and I thought of another way to make him stand. We line him up to the height measurement chart that J put up few days ago. Although we got his height from his last check-up at the clinic, we still wanna give it a try ourselves to see if those numbers are accurate.
Alas, we managed to get him standing still without banging his head to the wall and used a "stickyman" to mark down his height to be captured by my FX7 later. Well, we are proud to say that our son is now standing tall at 72cm (about half his mother's height!).
Thinking back, is been a long way since all three of us has come this far. Since we've made it this far, we don't think is a problem to go for another 17-18 years (but that's it man, after that J and I should both retire at a peaceful foreign land, and receiving monthly allowance from Little Skywalker...).
Meanwhile... keeping all our fingers crossed!
Way to go... son!
