We had Emma's parent/teacher conference at her preschool today. Her teachers had so many wonderful things to say about Emma. She is doing super at preschool. They were so impressed that she knew her phone number and address :)
I asked about Kindergarten readiness, since she has a summer birthday. I have been suffering through this decision for months now. Emma doesn't turn 5 until the end of July, and I didn't want her to be at a disadvantage at Kindergarten because she would be one of the youngest ones. Her teachers couldn't tell me what to do, but they did say that we would not regret holding her back and waiting to send her until she was 6. So, I think that we are going to send her to the 5 day/week pre-k class at her preschool next year, and hold off on Kindergarten until 2010.
We just want to make the right decision for Emma and not put her at a disadvantage when it comes to school. I think we're making the right one.

I totally understand how hard this decision is. We had to make the same one many years ago and I know it was the best thing for Travers. He actually appreciates it now.
