Both kids are fairly thin. At their yearly checkups, they are always above average for height, but below average for weight. This has its benefits and its challenges.
I wish I had such benefits and challenges.
First of all is clothes. While there are some problems finding pants that don’t fall down past their non-existent hips, their size makes it a little easier to milk as much time out of their clothes as possible. For example:
These are size 2T. He’s going for the man-capri look.
So are these trendy long shorts?
Nope. They are full-length pants.
For an 18-month old.
Another challenge is with their car seats. According to the manufacturer of their seats, they should use their current seats until they are 4 years old and 40 pounds. Well they’ve been 4 for almost 7 months. But both are still short of 40 pounds, especially A, who is only 35 pounds.
We joke that, at this rate, A will have to take a booster seat with her on her first date.
Which, of course, will be when she’s 35.
Hidely Ho, Neighbors!
