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,

That is how Marie is WRT her carseat. Except that I don't find it embarrassing.
BTW, my neighbor's son refused to ride w/o training wheels when he was almost 7 y/o. His mom was more embarrassed than he was (even though the rest of us didn't think it was a big deal). She kept pointing out that Marie was riding w/o training wheels and she was a girl a year younger (she was trying to motivate him). Then one day Dominic kept riding by his house last summer when he was 3.5 y/o. It irked the mom to no end! I guess it finally motivated him b/c next thing we knew he was begging his dad to take off the training wheels and he learned that day how to ride without them. Anyway, Peter will figure it out eventually. I know that my Joey won't be riding as early as Dominic was - he has always been much slower when it comes to physical things. He just learned to ride his tricycle this summer, a whole year older than Dominic was.
Here is a link to a website that calculates height/weight percentiles (and BMI, too) for children.

My boys are 20 mos. apart. My older son, Dan will be 13 in Feb and Keith was 11 last week. Keith caught up in size when they were back in the first and second grades. He has surpassed Dan and is now about 4 inches taller and about 40-50 pounds heavier than Dan. People always do a double take when I tell them Dan is the older of the two. At times I can see that they want to ask me "Are you sure?" LOL! If you go on my family photo album, you can see what I mean. Look at the first picture of the two of them. Keith, on the left is the younger of the two by 20 mos.
