how tall is your 3 year old?

[resistanceisfutile]

Just curious as I get a lot of comments about how tall my DD is. She's 3.2 and 98cm.

DS is 3.6 and 101cm. Think he is about 75 centile on height so guess your DD is tallish for her age.

dd was about 101 cm at 3 - she's 4 in Nov and is about 107/8 cm now. She's always been tall - her dad is 6' 3, but doesn't look that tall next to most of her friends.

I mean, 101 when she turned 3.

My DD is 3 next week. She is 97cm.

DD is 2.8 and she is 92cm.

I guess you could consult the red book. There is a chart at the end to give you the centile.

DD1 is 107cm at 3.5yo. Very tall, but so are both dh and I. DD2 is shaping up to be even taller!

I have misplaced my red book

So it would seem my DD is distinctly average height wise.

It must be people I know just have very short children then Honestly she is frequently mistaken for an older child. People ask me which school she goes to. Yesterday someone asked my why she wasn't in school!! When I say she's only 3 they say well she IS so tall.

She does seem taller than all her friends but not massively so.

The other day tesco delivery man wouldn't believe me when I said she was 3 but eventually conceded "well ok, but she must be 4 soon then".

My DS is very tall for his age. On his third birthday he was 105cm (I know because we took him to a theme park).

The heights of his friend varies massively though. Some come up to his shoulder.

wow, I have a real midget! DS 3 in a week and half and is 93cm! he doesn't look that small!

I must have a giant. My DD is only 2.5 and already 98cm! although I am 5ft9 and her dad is 6ft3 and she has been on the 98th centile since she was born!

It really is amazing how it all varies accross the ages!

my ds is 3.8 and he is 100cm.

DD turned 4 at the beginning of August and is 96cms tall. She's on the very lowest centile for height I think.

Dd2 is 3.10 and is 112cm - I blame her dad

Ds is 3y8m and is about 112cm I think.

DS was 103cm at 3.3
DS2 was 102cm at 2.11

Both were about about 5th tallest in their classes ....saying that my youngest has a kid in his class who is 4ft11" (ish) ... they have just gone into yr 3

ds is 3.0 at 2.10 he was 106cm! was born measuring 62cm and always been v tall!

This makes me realise why everyone says my dd is small! She's 3.1 and 88cm - She starts school next year (August b'day) and will need a teeny uniform!

DD is 3.1 and 101 cm, she gets a few comments about how tall/big she is and is often mistaken for older, she has always been on the tall side, was a long baby.

How sad is it that I was drawn to this thread because

a. DD is quite tall and I am randomly proud of that (no idea why)

and

b. I had a tape measure in front of me as we've just been measuring furniture

Tis strange postingforafriend, I'm not proud at all of DD's height. In fact it would worry me if she was really tall as I think it can be a disadvantage as a young girl.

I'm not sure if my DS is tall. I think he is as he is much taller than toddlers who are around his age or a couple of months younger. He is also taller that many almost 3 year olds I know.

He was last measured at age 2.5/6 and was 93cm. People keep telling me that he is tall for his age and people often think he is much older than what he is too.

Oh well there you go then. That's me told.
