Two months and two days after Emrick was born, we FINALLY mailed out birth announcements. I popped them in the mailbox yesterday. I know you’re supposed to mail them out right away, but… well, you know! Anyway, watch for it in the mail. I am sure you are all excited to get a new piece of decoration for your refrigerators…<\/p>\n

I found out some very disturbing news yesterday (“very disturbing” being just a slight exaggeration). Utah’s cut-off birthdate for Kindergarten enrollment is August 31. If you’re not five years old by August 31, you cannot enroll in Kindergarten until the following year!!\u00a0I came across this ugly rumor on someone’s blog a few days ago, and then I did some research to confirm it. I found this site<\/a> which lists the cut-off date for every state, and sure enough it’s August 31 here.<\/p>\n

All this while I have assumed that Emrick would be off to Kindergarten in 2015, but it will be 2016 instead \ud83d\ude41 . I noticed that in California you don’t need to turn five until December. That means that some kid in CA will be three months younger than Emrick, but a grade ahead of him. You realize what this means, don’t you? We’re moving back to California! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Now, one possible advantage to Emrick starting Kindergarten a year later is that perhaps he won’t be that much littler than his classmates. He’ll be one of the oldest kids in his class rather than one of the youngest, so maybe that will offset his short stature somewhat. And he is<\/em> short. Surprisingly.<\/p>\n

So maybe we’ll stay in Utah \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
