Don't worry. My now 13yo was on the smaller side when he was 5 or so. Actually he was always in the 50% percentile when he was younger, he just looked smaller because he was on the younger side for his class (not a reason to hold him back, though).
I knew of 2 people that had kids both a year older than my son. Both kids were at least 3" taller than my son, but again, both about a whole year older and in the same grade. Every time I would see either of the moms, they would comment on the size of my son and that he was small. I would attempt to explain that their kids were almost a whole year older and my son was actually average, but they were too stupid to grasp the concept.
Anyway, he's now 13 and 130 lbs and 5'7". He is right in the middle, actually on the larger end, and all muscle. I would like to see both of those kids now. It is amazing what happens during puberty, I'll tell you.
