Kate is so excited to be back at Nativity School this fall! She goes to school every day this year. In Minnesota she misses the cut-off for Kindergarten by a few weeks. She is academically more than ready for school, but socially we think it best to keep her with her "official" age group. I was the youngest in my grade by a lot - going to college at 17 years old. Being the youngest has an impact more socially than anything - everyone drives before you, turns 21 before you, and even reaches better sports peaks before you just because of general physical development. Nick and I thought long and hard about whether to move her forward or keep her right where she is. She is in the perfect spot. She is going to school M-F instead of 3 half-days so she is not bored. Her teachers are fantastic and we are seeing leaps and bounds of advancement already. She is loving it! Now she is right on track with her age group, and has a lot of kids in her class in the same boat, that turn 5 this month as well but are not old enough to advance to kindergarten yet.
