Dh and I went to an Indian place for dinner last night. (GREAT!)
As we were about done with our dinner, a lady with her 5 kids, ages about 14 to 6,

If only everyone else realized the same thing. The common response after ds says he is 5, is to look at me with a shocked look on their face and say "He's five? He's so small!"
Annoying and frustrating.
Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color.
Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color. Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.
That stinks. I've been lucky with ds so far that despite his size, he has never gotten teased and no one has ever made comments to him that make him feel self-conscious....yet. People actually tell me that they think he is older than he is b/c he's mature for his age, and is very coordinated (he's been riding a two wheeler w/o training wheels since he was 3.5 y/o). I'm hoping that he will hit a growth spurt b/c I do worry that he might get teased later on, but it just hasn't happened yet. He'll be 5 in two months. Yikes, did I just say that? What happened to my little boy???? I don't think it hit me that he'll be 5 y/o so soon!
FWIW, my father is only about 5'5" and his size has never been an issue for him (he does not have the Napolean complex so many small guys have). I'm just hoping that if for some reason , ds ends up being that small as an adult, that he has enough confidence and self-esteem that it isn't an issue for him either.
Just curious (I probably missed this) but how tall is/how much does Cal weight? Where does he fit on the percentile chart? Dominic is less than 40 lbs, but I'm not sure how tall. His last checkup, he was only in the tenth percentile for height and weight though.

Our preschool still uses private cars.
