To Send or Not to Send-That is the Question....

Eric and I have been going back and forth the past few weeks trying to decide if the boys should go to kindergarten or wait a year. I really did not think there was any decision to make until recently I learned that a lot of boys with summer birthdays are held back a year to start kindergarten at 6. We did tons of research, all of which was really split 50/50. We talked to a lot of people, again, all split 50/50. Then I talked with their preschool teacher. Mrs. McClellan assured me that they are totally ready for kindergarten. She told me that there are kids in their class that she advises wait another year, but David and Michael are ready!

After the talk with Mrs. McClellan Eric and I have made our decision to send the boys in September. I thought the boys would be so happy when I told them that they are really getting to be big kids and won't it be exciting to go to kindergarten in the fall? Michael is thrilled, David's only response was "but I don't like sandwiches!" (we have told him that a lot of kids like to eat sandwiches in kindergarten). I don't know that David will EVER eat a sandwich, but he will be going to Crofton Meadows kindergarten in the fall!
