In an era of ever increasing childhood obesity, my kids are too thin. Yep. Took Gabe and William in today and their BMI is not high enough. Whatever! I still could not believe the doctor saying that we needed to give him more white rice and potatoes to bring up Gabe's BMI. It was almost laughable. I think we will be switching docs...the extra hour and a half wait did not help my mood.
As I look at my kids...I think they are just perfect!

I agree -- just perfect. Did they happen to have a growth spurt recently? I was just talking to another mom about how boys spurt up and then fill out. That would leave them with a low BMI for a little while. Not that I'd worry about it.
Cristi-My kids are just little. Both Rob and I are. I thought the fact that Gabe was even on the chart with weight was a huge success :-). The doc seemed very concerned...I am not. They eat normal healthy foods and plenty of them. They will likely survive.
