I have a skinny mini for a son. He is going to be ten in a little over 2 weeks, and he has yet to break 60 pounds. We celebrated like crazy when he passed the 50 lb mark a couple of months ago.
No my son is not malnourished...in fact it's quite the opposite. His father was a skinny bean pole, I was a string bean...so naturally he was going to be one...I just didn't expect this skinny. The doctors say that he spends all his calories on his height...the boy is almost as tall as I am, towers over his peers, but we knew we were going to get a bean pole.
The kid won't eat junk either. He is the only kid I know that wants a salad at McDonald's, doesn't want a cake on his birthday, asks for veggie trays at family functions.
We went shopping today. Do you know how difficult it is to find a pair of pants for the kid? He wears a size 10 (and that is pushing it in length...but just trying to get him to warmer weather). They are fine for length, but he can fit both legs in a single pant leg. Never mind the fact that he is going through a darker is better fashion crisis right now, thus narrowing the "acceptable" field down even further. We finally settled after scouring the rack for 90 mins on 2 pairs of Wrangler's with an adjustable waist band.
I think that the trip would have been easier without a younger sibling in tow...but beggars choosers right?
So 2 pairs of jeans for $21.14 the true question is will they survive the bus stop on Tuesday?
