My son is in 2nd grade - turned 7 in June - so is one of the youngest, but not the youngest (he knows of a couple who have August birthdays). He was very excited to tell me that he is no longer the shortest kid in his class - a new girl started who is smaller than him smile Unfortunately, he got my genes (I'm 5'0" - dh is 6"2" - so we're hoping he'll catch up...eventually). It was quite funny watching him play soccer this past weekend against the HUGE U10 team ! smile
