Oh, I didn't mean to imply he hadn't been in preschool. He's been in a daycare center for the last 14 months, and they also do preschool activities. His class has 11 kids, but they're all really close in age--no 1-year spread--because the center is quite new and they are all the oldest ones.

At his P/T conference a month or so ago, his preschool teacher wasn't either hugely for or against him going on to K next year. She felt like he was doing much better at listening and following instructions since she took over the class 5 months ago.
