This year, K is in a 3 day program for 3 year olds, (us moms in our mini-vans call this 3-day/3s). Last year, he was in 2-day/2.5s. Next year, he will be in 3-day/4s because he didn't make the lottery for 4-day/4s. I considered putting him in the 3-day program anyhow because he really enjoys his days off school and I knew that next year will be the last year he has before he is in full-time school, as he will be starting kindergarten shortly after turning 5.
Why am i blogging about this? Well, its all been a very intense decision making process... when to start school, whether or not we should hold him back so he will be a newly turned 6-year old starting kindergarten (and 19 starting college), or send him according to schedule so that he is just 5 starting kindergarten and will be just 18 starting college. These days, more & more parents are holding back their summer-born kids so that they will be older & bigger when they start school.
