[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP my brother and I have 9yo boys who are about 3 months apart in age. My SIL and I are about the same height (5'3"); my brother and my husband are about the same height (6'/6'1"). My 9yo has never dipped below 90 percentile for height; as a third grader he is taller than many if not most of the 6th graders at his school. My nephew is at the opposite end of the spectrum; last I heard he was about 3 percentile for height, and isn't much taller than my 4yo (who is crazy tall like his brother). Fwiw, both cousins are happy, healthy, reasonably well-adjusted rising 4th graders, and I'm pretty sure my tall kid is less athletically inclined and more prone to getting teased at school than his tiny cousin. [/quote] Interesting, but this means nothing until they are both adults. My brothers are 6'3" and they were always the smallest at school, until they shot up at around 16. Your nephew may well end up taller than your son.[/quote]
