DD has a Jan birthday and is now 3.9. She is allowed to start school next September or the year after. (I think she'll be fine to start next year as she's v outgoing).
DS has an Aug birthday. He will start school when he's five + a few days.
We've only recently moved back to Scotland, and I was v worried about hin starting school in England at four. The scottish system is going to be much better for him.
Anyway, I'm toying with the idea of a third DC. More than toying actually, I'm sure we're going to go for it soon. I know it's impossible to time these things, but in an ideal world, I'd like to avoid TDC3 (T = theoretical) being the youngest in his / her class.
So if I got up the duff in the early spring, and TDC3 was born in Dec/Nov, would he/she be one of the youngest? I guess it depends on how common it is for parents of Jan/Feb b'day DCs to defer entry til they are 5 and a half.
Someone help me work this out please!!
