My daughter was in the 99.9th percentile for height and weight at birth and has stayed that way at 5.
Shopping for the new school term, we're buying her age 9-10 uniform clothes.
In the UK the standard clothes sizes were drawn up in the post war period and have been to small for decades.
The problem is that no shop wants to jump first - as all parents KNOW that their 5 year old is in size 6-7, or whatever...

In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
