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
We're thinking maybe a bike for DD. She's starting to figure out her pedals on her trike and she adores riding on DH's bike (we have a wee ride fitted). We're going to see how she goes on the trike and take it from there.
We're plodding along here. M is sick, nasty cold/sinusy thing. She sneezed about 400 times yesterday lol. She grins every time she sneezes She slept right through the night on Friday. Naturally, I didn't! Woke up in a panic and then battled with the "if I go to her room I might wake her up" dilemma but the want to make sure she was okay won. She didn't wake up though! DH repeated the panic when he woke at 6 lol! She hasn't slept through since, but she has remained in her bed each night and I've been able to settle her and convince her to stay there, so fingers crossed the waking during the night will end soon.
Thanks for the well wishes too in my PA. Can't quite believe it! Every twinge and pull has scared the crap outta me, but so far so good. Have my NT scan on Saturday!
JF - You're so close now to meeting this bubba! All the best hun!
MG congrats again, i'm over the moon happy for you
Will you be finding out the gender? & hope M feels better soon
All good here, M & K are constantly at each others throats & are driving me crazy but otherwise both are healthy.
Bambi is doing well she's almost 15wks old already :-0, she is a real chatterbox always telling stories & laughing she is sooooo placid & happy.
I'm getting better slowly, it's really knocked me around but last time i was this sick it took 3 months to fully recover but i could sleep & rest when needed no such luck this time so i guess it may take longer
JF & FW your both so close to holding your bubbas.
JF will be looking out for your BA over the next few days/weeks, hopefully days
We won't be finding out what we're having this time. We did with M, but I felt a bit robbed when she was born and there was no "It's a girl" at the end. Weird, but I want that this time. DH wants to find out and I've told him to go for it, just keep it a secret. He's decided to get the sonographer to write it down and he'll read it about a week before I'm due, if he really feels the need to mentally prepare (he'd love a boy and is scared that he might be disappointed if we have a girl as this is our last).
Yep, due date is this Sunday eek!! Tomorrow is my birthday! The big 24 haha.
Not really feeling anything which is a bit odd! I only got to 38w with DD so feels strange to still be pregnant but am glad to get some distance from Christmas, content to just plod along. Not too uncomfortable still although feeling very big and hot.
So excited for you MG, hope your scan goes well on the weekend!
