My 5 yr old can still wear 3T shorts ...

I was going through her drawer to find her some shorts to wear this a.m. and tossed a 3T pair aside that were in there . After arguing about why she couldn't wear the capris she wanted she grabbed the shorts and started to put them on. I was about to tell her they're too small and I need to give them away when she shimmied them up her skinny body. She's all legs and has no meat on her anywhere ... she weighs maybe 39 lbs soaking wet. She's such a picky eater and always moving I don't think she'll ever gain any weight.

DD is 40 lbs and couldn't rock those.   She has a toddler belly still.  (I did forever too).

DS1 (3.5) can still wear 18 months!

A is too cute!

Ryan is 4.5 and still wears some 12-18 shorts! The biggest I buy him is 2T. He is also only 37 inches and 29 lbs though.

I just took the size 6 pants out of oldest SS's dresser a couple months ago, and moved them right into younger SS's/

Um, DS1 is almost 4 1/2 and has 24 mos PANTS that still fit even in length. LOL

Whew! Glad she's got company. Marce, omg! I have to make sure to buy adjustable waist pants b/c I have to buy them bigger for the length and they fall off her waist.

I feel ya! DD is 5.5 and 35 lbs on a good day. She has some 2T shorts that still fit her   But she has to wear size 6 pants and long shirts because her legs and arms are so long lol!

seriously,when we went to Hawaii last year, I had to buy my 4 year old a pair of swim trunks that were a size 12m just to make sure they stayed up on him in the pool!  I dream about the day he can wear a 3T that isn't cinched to the last available spot on the adjustable waist! LOL

I feel you.  DD has no a$$ so there is never enough to hold up her bottoms.  Pants are the worst.  She is so tall with long legs that when they fit for length they fall of her non-existent butt!

My almost 5-year-old can still wear 24 month shorts. In fact last year she accidentally put on a pair of DS's shorts (size 6-12 month) and those fit and looked just fine. (they're ridiculously long on DS). She's very very tiny, though, at 33 lbs or so. And in the summer, both girls can basically wear the same clothes. DD#2 is also small for her age but some where around the 12% so. 28 lbs and only 3-4 inches shorted than DD#1.

This post only serves to show me how monstrously large my two are. LOL

Dd is going to be wearing her 6-12 month shorts again for the third summer. She's 3 y/o.

Just last summer we finally got rid of ds' 2T shorts. They still fit his waist but were starting to look ridiculously short. Girls can get away with shortie shorts, but it wasn't such a good look for ds, lol.

ds is the same way--5 1/2 years old and 38 lbs.  However i refuse to put him in 3T's based on principle...oh and he eats like a pig.  just got his daddy's metabolism--more power to him!

This is exactly what we have to do for our DS.  He just turned 6 last week and he just barely fit the extra 2T shorts we had in our minivan.  3T probably would have been a perfect fit.  He weighs roughly 39 pounds.
