My DD was born in April 2011 but will start prep in 2016. It's strange to think that she wasn't even conceived when your DS was bor Peanutter! I know where she will be going though as we have decided already for DS. Assuming all goes well DD will be attending the same school. I'm still not 100% convinced as my heart is set on a different school but our hip pockets don't stretch that far ATM. If things change, I wouldn't hesitate to change them over. ATM, they will be attending a local public school in walking distance. It has a great reputation & I do love where we live but the school I really want is a 10 min drive away and private (mid range price for our area) and when I went there, I was ready to sign up on the spot. My only reason for not shoosing that school is the cost. I figure if local public school doesn't work out then I will look to change them earlier but as it stands, the private school will be our choice for high school as the local public high school leaves a lot to be desired. In the meantime, we'll be saving our pennies lol. As for readiness, I'm sure DD will be fine. She's already showing signs of being ahead academically. I'm more worried about DS. I think he will be fine though as he has made significant improvements in just the last 6 months.
