He should be a tadpole at that age. Is he, like, actually much older than the others or something?
* Well, you couldn't very well do the show with him like, swimming around in a tank in the nursery while all the other Muppet Babies are out walking around. It definitely wouldn't be very cute (hey, there's a trope idea: Rule Of Cute).
* We sort of have that trope.
* We do now.
* Maybe he's just out of the tadpole stage. His nephew Robin is similarly small and young and surprisingly non-tadpole.
* Robin was absolutely a tadpole in "Muppet Babies", which gets awkward.
* Robin is young but a frog on The Muppet Show, and the younger Robin who appears in one episode of Muppet Babies is a tadpole. Kermit is past the tadpole stage; nothing awkward about it other than anthr

* Robin is young but a frog on The Muppet Show, and the younger Robin who appears in one episode of Muppet Babies is a tadpole. Kermit is past the tadpole stage; nothing awkward about it other than anthropomorphizing the rate of his aging, which is nothing new.
* It is actually a good metaphor for the relatively immobile infant stage versus the more active toddler stage.
