..with Helena's clever weekly series. I've got one today that's a little bit of a cheat. Little bit. It's a two-in-one, a look up look down combination...
At the weekend we were looking at some photos we had just taken with our friends from San Diego.
Am I really that much bigger than everyone else? The Tall One asked
Oho, yes, said his Dad. Stand beside your mother and I'll prove it
So he did and we took this picture and today it's my Look Up, look Down with a twist. Twist? Did somebody say twist? If I stand like this for much longer, I'll end up with what round here we call a "crick" in my neck..
Many thanks to all the Storytellers this month (and hello to the newcomers!) There is still time to add yours to the Storytelling Sunday collection. The linky is open until the end of the week right here
and you can read more about Storytelling Sunday in the latest issue of Jot magazine, which is free and ready to be enjoyed right here. I was delighted to see my lovely blogging friend Abi in there too this time round. Check it out!
He definitely earns his moniker :) Lovely to see you both tho'!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's a bit of a cheat at all, I think it's a great photo x
ReplyDeleteYour photo really made me smile, this sunny morning Sian :o)
ReplyDeleteAll my children are taller than me - but nothing like that! Maybe you just need a fluffier hair-do?
ReplyDeleteLove that photo! Has TTO had a smallish haircut; he's looking a little less wild?!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo and a great twist on look up, look down. I remember when our son began looking down on me. He loved that!
ReplyDeleteSuch a clever photo for the up/down meme, Sian! I'm off to check out Jot...
ReplyDeleteWow that is a fantastic photo Sian :D Definitely suits his name :)
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm guessing that your tall one is 6'4" or else you are 5'. Reminds me of my grandson and me. I'm waiting for the doctor's report---I'm saying 6'4" for him too.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo!
Love that photo! Yes, he looks pretty tall.
ReplyDeleteHe is impressively tall and handsome,
ReplyDeleteJo x
He has some impressive height!
ReplyDeleteYour TTO really IS tall...great take on LOOK UP LOOK DOWN!....I am getting really frustrated, because no matter what I try I haven't been able to download JOT!!

I'm waiting to get a bit of time to sit down with JOt. I think this week's photo of JJ felt a bit of a cheat because although I was looking up at her, the photo was taken (technically) from above. Although I think it sill has a bit of a looking up perspective. And I really liked my pair, so I left it.

Just like Maria, I am reserving some me time to savor this new issue... Congrats on being featured!
ReplyDeleteWhere did your boy get his genes? From his dad?
:D
Gosh he is very very tall! Congratulations on your jot article. I loved reading it and your advice on starting a linky party.
ReplyDeleteNah, no cheating ... you're looking up and he's looking down ... fits the bill if you ask me!
ReplyDeleteMy youngest son says he is 6'5" but we have his pencil mark on the wall and it measures 6'7" even allowing for error that is still 1'6" taller than me so I know how your neck feels. My other son is only 6' and my daughter a mere 5'6". They get their tall genes from their father and from my Dad's side of the family.
ReplyDeleteBeing the shortest is something I have grown (hehehe) used to over the years.
I intend spending tomorrow morning reading Jot
Frankly, this is the best Look Up, Look Down of all! It probably is a cheat, but it's wonderful. I've already started enjoying Jot, but it's going to take a bit to get through it. Lots of good stuff!
ReplyDeletegreat twist and makes me smile - I have some very tall cousins who make me feel just like that
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's a cheat ;) but where did he get those genes ??
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this new copy of Jot & even more pleased that I've got some work in it :D
There's the proof. I'll have to run and get my Nook to download the newsest Jot. Can't wait to see what it holds.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great Look Up Look Down photo, I love it! He really is quite tall :D Congrats on your Jot article, I really enjoyed reading it. x
ReplyDeletehaha!! love your twist. He sure is tall!! I've not had a change to join in yet with STS or read all the stories...I do hope to get around to it...still need to read Jot too x
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous photo for Look Up Look Down! Yes, do be careful or you'll have a crick in the neck for sure!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! Also love your article in Jot :)
ReplyDeleteLol ... What a fabulous photo
ReplyDeleteI think this is the most awesome "look Up, Look Down" photo I have ever seen! Funny, we say a "crick in the neck" here, too.
ReplyDeleteThat is a superb picture Sian! Definitely one for the scrap books. How could he not know that he was so much taller than everyone!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant photo for scrapbooking - and I am sure you will both smile at this in years to come. I was trying to remember the height of TSO - has she overtaken you yet?
ReplyDeleteOh, yes she has :) by a couple of inches..
ReplyDeleteYou will simply have to continue reminding him that you are the mom and that status trumps his height any day. Terrific photo; perfect for the challenge!
