How much do your 5 - 6 year olds weigh?

Parker just turned 6 on 9/14. I took him to the dr today (not his well check yet but for a strep test) and he weighs 37.4 pounds, which I am fairly sure is what he weighed last year too. His BMI is now just 12 (not even on a chart) and he's dropped to 5th % on the height/weight growth charts from what I can tell, which is off from his usual 20th

Amelia is 57 pounds. She is 95% for height and weight. Probably not an accurate gauge.

Same for Charlotte...
Harrison is a skinny little string bean at 35 lbs but he is super tall for an almost 4 yr old (taller than an average 5 yr old).

Jake weighs 45 lbs and is in the 50th percentile. I don't think it matters what other kids his age weigh but rather whether he is on his growth curve. Since he dropped significantly, that would concern me too--but does it concern the doctor? A lot of thinks make me worry that the doctor doesn't attach any importance to...so I worry for no reason! Talk to the ped.

Adrian just turned five. At his 5 year checkup he was 38.5 lbs and BMi of like 15.5.
