…Aaannd in response to popular request (well, from one of you, anyway), here’s a photo of the young man in his York Humber school uniform. It’s just a zipped, collared, black sweatshirt with a white t-shirt underneath. The top also comes in dark green. The school isn’t too fussed whether or not he wears the “official” uniform pants as long as they’re black. When the weather warms up he can wear the school’s long- or short-sleeved black polo shirt.
At least it doesn’t look like we’re going to have to keep sizing up his clothes much more; his growth seems to be slowing down. That’s a relief! His official weight and height (fresh from the doctor’s office this morning) is
- 66 kg (145 lbs.)
- 178 cm (5 ft. 10 in.)
Jon only really attains his full height lying down (which is how we took the measurement), but it’s a bit of a shock to realize that technically Peter only has 3 inches on him!
Oh wow. Now when I think back to when I first met Jon, he was such a little kid back then!!
WOW, JON!!!!!
Yes, I remember those days…now I have to shave that cute little kid twice a week.
I saw that face you all made.
Holy smokes, what a handsome young man! And I’m stunned that Jon is 5′ 10″. What a fabulous pic!
Wow, Jon, you look so handsome in uniform, hey, you’re a handsome e lad at any time!
Wow watta good looking dude!
Is that a wink or a teenage sneer? =;]
Either? Both? The teen years are so full of mixed emotions!
So is Humber a public school? That requires uniforms?
Tho my kids would strongly disagree, I think it’s a great idea.
Yep, public school, tho it’s completely special needs (DD, MID and LD kids). A lot of public high schools are starting to move to school uniforms. It certainly would take the angst out of “what do I wear today” mornings! (Not that Jon would care—we could bung him in in a flour sack and as long as it wasn’t itchy he wouldn’t care less. The upside of having a visually-disabled kid!)
same size as me, well if i eat this cookie(s) i’m holding i’ll have a few lbs on him.
