sizes, and a gender question
Turtle no. 2 has been off the charts (big) in all the categories almost since birth, though he's finally growing into his head, which was even more ridiculous than the rest of him at the beginning (ouch, but I'm getting over it). Funny thing is, the pediatrician gave me a little speech at his 3-y-old checkup about how I should be careful not to let people expect too much of him because he's big for his age. All true, but I left remembering that turtle no. 1, equally tall and strapping for her age but a girl, never inspired such commentary. Do we take for granted unrealistic expectations for girls, or do you all think the fact that the dr. thought of it with him and not her was just random?
