Measuring Stick!

It was always a tradition growing up in my family that when a child has a birthday their height would be recorded. As my family have moved around quite a bit, we have always used a wooden stick to record these measurements upon, so as we have moved, the stick has moved with us. Obviously, as we all grew up and left home, this tradition faded. However, my family has now grown considerably with the addition of many grandchildren and my mum and dad have re-instated this family tradition for them. As my parents are very settled where they live and its unlikely that they will move, the stick has now turned to a thin section of wall in their kitchen.
When I was over recently, I decided to re-vamp the measuring 'stick' to make it more of a feature.
