I was at an indoor soft play place a few days ago - I take the kids there every couple of weeks or so.
Anyway I was sitting in this bit with soft shapes with Alex (Lydia was off somewhere climbing about) and this other mum brings her baby girl in.
She was toddling around, and Alex was just sitting there bum shuffling (he can't walk) and the mum looked at him and asked how old he was.
So I said "he's 14 months"
And she was like "oh wow, he's so teeny, and he can't walk yet. He must have been a preemie am I right? I bet he was tiny at birth"
So I replied "no he wasn't a preemie, he was actually 15 days overdue and weighed 10lbs 1oz. As for his walking, he's just taking his time, he'll get there soon I'm sure"
She kind of looked doubtful at me and said "well my daughter is 15 months old and she's been walking for ages. She was 7lbs (something or other) at birth."
I was a little put out by what she'd said, but to be honest it's true, Alex is diddy. I bought him some new trousers the other day, 9-12 months because he's small, and they practically bury him.
It's kind of worrying me
