Well On His Way to 5 Foot 3

As Rai's 2nd birthday approaches, we seem to keep hearing the same bit of folk wisdom from more and more people we know; the height of a toddler on their 2nd birthday is half of their adult height. This scares us because Rai is quite short. If this bit of conventional wisdom holds true, Rai will barely break 5 feet when he's full grown!
We were reminded of Rai's diminutive size at his friend Ben's 2nd birthday party the other day. Ben stands a good 3 feet tall. One day, he will be a handsome 6 foot tall man. Just 1.5 months behind Ben, Rai looks pretty tiny beside giant Ben. Thinking back to when Rai and Ben first met way back when Rai was 1.5 months old, the difference in size was pretty evident back then, too.
There is a bright side to all this and that is that Rai still has 30-some days to his birthday. We're hoping for a super, last-minute growth spurt. Rai can still add a few inches, can't he?

  1. Dear Rai,
    I am 5'2 and 1/4. The 1/4 is very important. I am not short, I am perfect for my height! ;)
