Kindergarden?

Oh this girl. 

Bring born October 28th puts her on either the very young end of starting school or the old end. 

Over the last month or so Matt and I have been going back and forth on what would be best for Bristol. Testing her in or waiting another year. Academically I know shes ready and would be fine. Socially Im not sure. Being the oldest she tends to thrive more when she can be " the leader." When put into situations where she knows shes younger she tends to become shy and reserved. Where this is something that will affect her whole academic career and I feel social is so important in connection to academics we want to make the best choice. 

After talking to many teachers, friends, and sometimes strangers ha I think we have come to the decision to hold her back another year. I dont think another year home will be bad in terms of behavior and helping to continue to instill the values we want her to have. Its a tough call but I think we can add for academics and she will be fine. 

Oh being a parent is tough sometimes ha. :)
