Beyond the Door Frame: 6 Unique Ways to Chart Your Kid's Growth

Stop with the crooked printing on a door frame, there's a new growth chart in town

by: Sharon DeVellis

I was a little slack when it came to measuring my boys' growth throughout the years and now I'm kind of sad about it. We did start out marking how tall they were on a door frame but we sold our house and apparently ripping off a door frame after the sale is something that's frowned upon. I then bought a cute little foldable growth chart that I folded up, put in a box, and completely forgot about for a few years. And my mother-in-law, who I love dearly, used to mark their growth on the side of her fridge with stickers but once my older son became taller than the fridge, she stopped. 

Basically I sucked at keeping track of their growth and I regret it. So learn from my mistake and use these fun ways to always have a reminder of how little your kids were at one point.
