She is about 5ft 1; at Christmas I bought her size 4 shoes & recently I bought her size 6 (she briefly flitted through size 5 about Easter)

Is she going to grow do you think (checks purse & bank account for money for clothes several feet longer then atm)

not necessarily if ds1's anything to go by ..

last year (y8) he started off as size 6 and ended up as size 8 - I was convinced he was about to have a massive growth spurt but he still hasn't - he is growing, but slowly and steadily and while he doesn't look ridiculously small, is nowhere near the size of some of his friends who are pushing 6' (he's 14 and a half and 5'5" and now has size 8.5-9 feet)

Great - a whole new wardrobe would be so expensive

DD is 13 & in yr 8 and I wonder how tall she will be

My brother was 6ft by the time he was 12, settled at 6'4" his feet went up to a 14 & settled at 12 (so he has a bit to go yet)
