I've heard a lot of people say that Mo, that they've struggled in either high school or primary school. For us too, my niece is seven months older than DD and there are lots of things she can do that DD can't do (as expected), but if we sent DD to school as a four year old, the two girls would be in the same year level. So seeing DD develop differently to my niece makes me even more convinced that we need to hold her back a year. In saying that, there's plenty of things that DD can do that I'm told isn't the norm, but then what is the norm when it comes to kids!
DS1 is enrolled in 4 yo kinder in 2013 (ie as a 4yo but I never thought of enrolling him in 3yo kinder that year). The decision to skip kinder next year was made only because we're going back to Sweden next month for 1-2 years and won't be back next year anyway and our situation will br somewhat complicated by the different learning philosophies of the two countries. In Sweden, they start school later and learning is play-based until 9 or 10- and I wonderhow they'd re-integrate into oz, where they get homework quite early in primary school.
Anyway, this thread is about kinder, DS1 has been enrolled in 3, for 2013.

Tanya how's Barney doing & how is your DS1 coping with his little bother?
MG hope your going well
Hope everyone else is doing well also.
We had our scan & Bambi is perfect in every way.
It was worth the drive over as the lady was fantastic, She talked the whole way through the scan so we knew what we were looking at. She made sure she showed us the little feet with toes & the hand with fingers.
Of course Bambi was hiding the whole scan & wouldn't stop moving so it was hard to get decent pics but she did her best.
Overall it was fantastic & i couldn't wipe the smile off my face.
Bambi is measuring a week behind but again i'm not worried as i don't do small babies so i'm sure s/he will start growing soon
Congrats on another beautiful princess! Bet they are going to gave such fun together.
Things are good here, morning sickness is making toddler antics fun but I've explained to her that I'm not feeling well which she seems to understand, let's me have time out on the couch every so often. DP had a job interview for something he is really keen for yesterday, said we should hear today. He is at work but keeping his phone very close haha. Really hope it works out, fingers crossed.
