Sonia, who is approaching her third birthday, has always been a small child. It's not surprising since both of her parents are rather short and of a delicate stature. She has been in the 10th percentile for both length-for-age and weight-for-age since birth. What is Sonia’s expected weight on her third birthday if she is maintaining her growth pattern? The growth charts can be accessed at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website or under Hints B1 and B2. Round the weight to the nearest half pound (for example, 22, 22.5, 23, 23.5, etc.).
