Dottie, that's what I was thinking when I read her email. Right now, I don't think he realizes that he's younger than his classmates. I mean, heck, he only misses the cut-off by 4 months. That's why I'm so adamant about him continuing to 1st grade next year. I was "young for my grade" as was a friend of mine. Both of us said the only thing we remember being "behind" on was driving in high school and being 21 in college.
