    Poppy’s first-grade year is kind of bleeding over into second grade because we didn’t get all the way through some of her books last year. We’re going to be sticking with many of the same companies this year, though, so the transitions should be pretty smooth.

    Pete’s fifth birthday is in November. Which means: (1) my tiny sweet baby is almost 5 years old; and (2) he’d miss the cut-off date for kindergarten this year if he went to public school. I’m not sure he’s entirely ready for kindergarten at home, either, so we’re tentatively calling his year K4.
