They're doing fine, thanks. I have three grandsons so far. The oldest turned 4 on Janurary 29th, the day my dad passed away.  This is Justin's son (the doctor). The other two are brothers. One will be 4 March 11th; it's coming up. The other will be 3 May 9th. He was a preemie, and now he's in the uppermost percentile for weight and height.  |
My 7 year old was always right on in size for his age, the 3 year old is like your 3 year old, she is in the upper percentiles for weight and height, so at 3 she is wearing a size 4 and we expect that at age 4 she will be wearing a size 5 or larger. They really grow up quickly but when you see them everyday, you don't notice it as much. They just are what they are and you almost don't notice how much harder it is to hold them.
It reminds me of the legend of Hercules, when he was young and wanted to grow up to be strong, he got a very young calf and started to carry it around all day. By the time the calf had grown into a full sized steer Hercules was very strong to pick up and carry that sized animal around. Most people stop when the child gets too heavy. |
He is definitely hard to hold for too long. He's not overweight; he's just solid.
