My son is tiny too. Everywhere i go and he is around other kids i
hear the moms say to thier kids "careful of the baby!" He is now 32
months old and i am still putting him in 24 months. He pretty much
swims in anything that is 2T. He is growing, just very slowwwww... I
guess the positive thing is that we can sneak him into stuff like the
zoo for free (LOL!) He gets away with being "Under 2"
