My daughter (2.5 yrs) is also tall for her age. She's consistently tracked above the 90th% for height and weight. I tend to buy mini Boden 6-12mo ahead of her age, or sometimes lager. Little Saff seems to have most of her height in a long back, plus broad shoulders. When she was around 20 mo, I bought dungarees for 3-4 yrs!


Last winter in the sale, I bought tunic dresses and pinafores sized 3-4yrs (Little Saff was 2 yrs at that time). The 3-4yrs stuff still fits her now but doesn't have any growing room in the chest shoulders. Leggings and trousers seem be to a better fit for age. She's still in Boden's 2-3 yr leggings, but even they are starting to come up short! If it's long legs your daughter has, then you'd probably do well to buy a size up in trousers too, unless she's quite slim. I've found the waists are plenty generous.


Hope that helps. xx

    • Digital rubber necking ?  That's a meaningless phrase. The OP merely was seeking information.
    • Reviving this to say that Palais is now up and running.  We went to a night there yesterday.  It is a first floor bar with cocktails and space for a DJ.  That I think is intended to be a quieter space for an older/more chilled crowd.  There is also a basement club space that can hold 500, it has an amazing sound system. The communal areas are still a bit rough and ready, they still need to do some replastering and painting on the stairways and there is currently no functioning lift.   But generally it was well run and thoughtfully restored. It was good to see the space back in use and it feels like a good addition  to that end of Peckham. Interestingly, showing a shift in night time cultures, there were signs about not using mobile phones and everyone had to get a blocking  sticker put on their phone camera lens before they were allowed in. 
    • Great shout. They do need the extra fat when it’s winter, but don’t use fat balls from April as they are dangerous for nestlings as the babies can choke on lumps of the fat. When it gets milder switch to suet pellets as they are harder and don’t melt (the grease is bad for feathers.    
    • Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.
