It also allows the parents more opportunities to 'blend in and be regular' instead of trying to constantly balance on the fine line between advocating for their children's needs and being perceived as pushy.
LOL!!actually rolling on the floor laughing out loud with leaking tears. Oh Yes!
Except when trying to explain to someone who is not quite bright how your kid is in the same baseball league, is younger than that someone's son, yet is in first grade, not kindergarten... this happened to me last night. I've now realized that it's just best to keep activities based on age, like baseball, about DS's age, and school activities about grade... though I will be sure to write "6th Birthday Party" on his invitations being sent to school next week!
