Mine has not. She is in Kindergarten now (5 yrs old) and is the size of a 3 yr old. But she is very intelligent and is a FIRECRACKER!! When people ask her why she's small, she says, "Cuz God's got BIG plans for me!" Hope this helps :-)

YES!! My son is 3 now, and he is still small for his age, but everything else...well, he is quite advanced! As for height, i wouldn't worry about it as long as his pedi isn't worried! =)
