i was given a box of food today wth is her problem
Damn. Some people have no sense. I was in kids 6 until I was like 12. I also had a hell of a growth spurt. My daughter seems to be taking after me. She is 14 months, and 32 inches tall, and 19 pounds. She eats almost as much as I do. All healthy food. Some kiddo's are just not built to be line backers. And sometimes, some parents overfeed their kids IMO. (my sil's youngest can't even crawl for how big he is.)
Marissa will be 6 in July and weighs about 37 lbs and is about 4ft tall, here's apic of her on her 1st day of school.
Just to show the difference in my kids,

This picture is from 2009. My youngest son was 6, my oldest son was 14, and my daughter was almost 9.
Quoting Crazy-Steph:
Yep. My 16 year old son s 5'7" now. But he has grown 9 inches over the last year. Lol. He has always been tiny. He and my 11 year old daughter wear the same size bottoms.
Quoting Thelmama:my 11 year old is 47 and 1/4 inches wears a 7 but is it big on him. My kids all have a syndrome that makes them small. He is 44 lbs I think or 45. 5s are too short. so I hear ya...fun size..:o)
Quoting kmjmlj:
47 1/2 inches tiny waist
Quoting FooLynRoo:Your 10 year old is wearing a 5T sized clothing - and there is no health or growth issues?
How tall is he?
According to the clothing size standard a size 5 in children fits someons 43 inches high
average 10 year old is 51 inches. your 10 year old is only 3 ft 7 inches?
My 4 year old is 40 lbs. My issue with him is that is waist is small but his legs are long. So finding him pants is horrible. We do the adjustable waist ones but he doesn't seem to stay in them long. My 2 year old is like yours. Some of the 18 month fits right every where else but is short. If you go up to the 24 month it is the right length but won't stay on her.

My 5 year old is 35 lbs and wears a 4. My 2 year old is 23 lbs and wears 18 month clothes. They are both solidly average according to their dr.
Quoting SapphireMomma:
Her 5 year old is my 20 month's old size. :/
Quoting BEXi:Your 10 year old is my 4 year old's size...
my 4yr old is 50lbs, he has to wear size 6 or 7 jeans for the length but his waist is small so the adjustable waist is the best thing ever. With shorts its different because they don't have to be long and he wears a 3t or 4t but they still need the adjustable waist

This reply was my first laugh out loud of the morning!!!
So true -and this is exactly what makes CM so damn delicious!! Most of us can walk away after reading a post or 3 and feel much better about ourselves and our lives!
Have a great day and thanks for the laugh.

I've seen small kids, but that is beyond TINY. My nephew is very small for his age, but in a 3 at almost 5.
My 4 year old wears 6 in shirts, 4/5 in pants. But he is big for his age.
