I'm kind of worried about him. He's short for his age, but the doctors have never been concerned because he has a normal growth pattern...He has a stocky built (thick in the thighs, behind)
He used to wear a slim, but in the past two years, has filled out and wears regular pants.
My dilemma is that he is getting heavier (84 lbs) but not taller. His pants are getting tight in the waist and thighs, but I can't go up a size because they will be too long.
We eat pretty healthy (I limit, but I don't forbid junk), but I will admit that he hasn't been as active since it got cold out. He did start basketball tonight, which will run until March.
I kind of remember my oldest getting a little chunky in 6th grade too, and then he had a growth spurt and got taller.
I'm trying not to make a big deal about it, but I do worry about him.
Anyone else go through this with their pre-teen son?
