The girl in the pink is FOUR, Malía is 33 months, today. Shaunacy may be petite, but Mal tends to dwarf most other kids her own age. I have no problem with my little "stretch", except that others tend to expect more of her, based on her size, than they do of other kids her age. Not fair...

That is hard- I have twins and one is HUGE and the other is average size- and so they call the smaller one a midget and think the larger one is older and expect more from him. I am always reminding people he is 9 not 12.
I was thinking about you guys yesterday and wondering how things were- so I was glad to se a post from you.
Oh I hear you... we get some strange looks and rude comments when Natalie, who also looks 4, throws a full 31 month old tantrum in public!
Hope you're feeling better!

Yup! We get the reverse! E is so small for his age, they think he is closer to 5-6 than 8. Yikes... It will figure itself out, though, right?
So true sadly, people expect a lot more from taller children.
I love the name Shaunacy's (I know it as a surname with an o in front!) is she named after a Shaun and Nancy? It's really neat!
She is amazing. I have always thought she was such a beautiful baby!! It is hard when people expect more. Our son was always so little and people expected less. That can be just as difficult. I remember him being 8 years old wearing a size 5-6.
BTW, I am trying to get back into blogland. I have kept up reading yours but just haven't been commenting. I am changing my blog a bit and going to try again. I used to be such an addict but that was when we were TTC and now I just want to blog again. I miss it!! So you will see me around again!!!
LOL! There's definitely something about these Habesha girls and growing so tall! Zia (who just turned 2 at the end of May) is now only 2 inches shorter than Isaiah who's 4 and a half. We've been asked a few times if they are twins. LOL!
We are experiencing exactly the same thing with Sofia. She is 26 months and already wearing a size 3. She's tall and skinny. Her vocabulary is also very advanced and I even find that I have to remind myself that she is only 2. She is only 5 months older than our nephew and has been using 7+ word sentences for a couple of month, whereas our nephew is still working on 2 word combinations. Spending time with him reminds me how old Sofia really is!
