Yes, 2010 for Tehya. Noah is starting school next year and he will be 6 in the May. I personally don't think he was ready for school this year and was glad that I held him back.

I agree too Sarah with boys usually needing to be held back. I did it with Brandon too, but that was easier decision, his bday is near the end of July.

Before Noah started pre school, I took him down for visits. I would stay there of course, but he was left to his own devices to interact with the other children, he even had lunch or morning tea with them one day. Tehya was lucky in that she was used to going in with Noah each week so she would have a little play each time. Of course, when it came to me leaving her there it was a different story.
