[quote=Anonymous]1539pp, I think we have the same kids!! And yes, I get tired of the comments about their size; now that the oldest is in elementary school, I get the redshirted question a lot (less so now that it's clear he may be big, but he is neither academically nor athletically nor socially advanced!) I'm constantly having to explain that my almost 4yo is not in K, he actually won't be eligible to start for almost 2 more years. He's taller than a few first graders we know! And yes lots of eye rolls when he behaves his actual age rather than the age he's presumed to be. But what can you do? People talk about kid size the way wetalk about the weather;it's an easy way to fill a lull in the conversation. And even though it bugs me, I don't think it gives me license to call other people's kids ridiculous simply because they may be smaller.[/quote]
