Little B was on a mission. One pink piece of paper, one green piece of paper, one pink piece of paper, one green piece of paper... He lined them up, narrow end to narrow end and taped them to each other. On each piece, he drew a picture as well as interesting little lines down one side of the paper so that it looked a little like train tracks running down the side of the amalgamated paper.
"Here, Mom," said little B, giving Simone his finished work. "This is for you."
"Thank-you," said Simone.
"Now put it up on the wall," ordered the mini-tyrant.
Simone taped the papers to the wall. There were so many of them that they went from floor to ceiling. "Wow," whispered Simone. "That's big!"
Little B grinned. "Yeth," he agreed with his sweet little lisp. "It's a growth chart."
"A growth chart?" Simone inched closer to look at the "train tracks".
"Yeth, to see how tall you are."
"Well," Simone stepped back. "I'm not very tall. This is a very big growth chart, little B."
LIttle B took Simone's hand in his. "It ith," he agreed. "And when you reach the top? You'll get a treat."
