Depends: Is he drinking a lot? Does diabetes run in your family? Is he substituting drinking calories for eating them? Consider these questions--if no answer appearing, then see pediatrician.

Diabetes? : He's probably normal but the most common abnormality that causes excessive urination for him would be diabetes. Excessive thirst and lethargy would be other clues. A simple urine dip stick test would rule out a serous cause including diabetes.
