My 9 yo dd is 5 feet tall. a 5'4 10 year old would not surprise me overmuch.[/quote]

But how many 5'4" 10-yo BOY have you seen? I've seen zero yet in my neck of the woods.[/quote]

I'm the PP with the 5'4" 10yo.  He's always been off the charts for height.  He's about a head taller than anyone else in his class even though he's a year younger than they are, with the exception of one really tall girl who is 5'6".  I don't know where his height comes from.  My husband and I are pretty average at 5'11" and 5'7", and his little brother is tall, but still well within norms for his age (80th percentile).  Anyway, keeping him fed is a financial black hole.  Not only can he pack away enough for four adults in a sitting, he's got food allergies that make his available options more costly than the norm.  Buying him clothing is a nightmare, too -- try finding men's pants in 24 x 30.[/quote]
