CLASS OF 2021
When trying to sleep last night I was fiddling around with some numbers. Now it already seems weird that Chance will be starting JK in September when he is ONLY 3 years old. But what is even more scarrier is that when I started doing LONG TERM numbers and realized that I will be sending my 13 year old off to high school. 13 YEARS OLD and in high school, oh my. Then it gets even better, I'll be sending him off to University at 17!!! He's not even old enough to buy a lottery ticket, but I am suppose to just drop him off on his own in the big scary world? Maybe I'll wait and let him start JK when he is 6. Then he can start highschool at 16, and start University at 20. That sounds better. Hmmm.... Something to think about. :)
Some of the downsides of starting JK early is he'll probably always be the youngest in his class unless there is someone born in the 35 days after his birthday, which also means he'll probably be on of the shortest in his class (unless he takes after his dad and grows up to be a bean pole as our Family Doctor called Andrew.. lol), all the other kids gets to experience things first, while all of his friends will be getting their license when they are in grade 10, Chance will have to wait until grade 11 (unless they change the age).

Just thought I would post about my experiences as being younger than the rest of my friends (well most of them anyway). I was born January 4th, 1981, and most of my friends and classmates in school were born in 1980. It did mean that I started kindergarten at age 4, didn't get to take my driver's ed until grade 11 and I graduated high school when I was 17. I don't feel that I missed out all that much. It would have been nice to have driver's ed with most of my friends but I had a friend who was also born in January so we took it together. And who knows about height! Some kids are taller than others who are years older than them. I wouldn't worry about that ;)
