Do I even want to calculate his BMI?

I've finally figured out why Small Boy strikes me as so darn skinny in spite of his regularly falling just shy of the 50th percentile in weight for his age group: he's off the chart - as in beyond the 100th percentile - for height. (Seems in the weight department I actually look at the charts whereas for height I tend to go "huh, he's pretty tall isn't he?")

Anybody know the German word for "bean-pole?"

Hello, yes we use the same expression: Bohnestange (in Swiss German).
Seems normal, when I look at my boy (5 years) I think the same: Bohnestange. Mind you it is amazing how much he eats, I would love to be able to burn the calories off as good as he does it.
