But he wasn't as old as redshirt Michael P. Poor kid was desperate - 6 1/2, still being marched out to the playground and read to before daily naps. He really clung to my kid as the other big kid there. He'd been eligible the year before, but his parents had kept him in day care an extra year. Advantage? It's hard for me to imagine he got any from that. dave.s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
