So we will only get to that hurdle next year. The fact is that without a doubt C will be ready so it's the twin thing - you know? WOndering if you are still possinly blogging somewhere?

I am new to the South Africa schooling systems... is it similar to UK?<br /><br />I just got my boys enrolled in a new Pre-K program here in California called Transitional Kindergarten. Our cutoff for Kindergarten in this state is rolling back to eventually be age 5 by September 1. For this next year it is still Nov 1 so we have the choice to keep them out of K and instead enroll them in Transitional K. We are fortunate that our local school district is offering it. Should be a good fit for both boys and further prepare them for Kindergarten when the time comes the following year. We are planning to keep them together in the same classroom this first year and see how it goes!Hopeful Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339776324264791028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-26439996866049543122012-05-24T15:11:04.585+02:002012-05-24T15:11:04.585+02:00It is policy in South Africa to split twins - if y...It is policy in South Africa to split twins - if you can in grade R (year they turn 6) or at latest in grade 1 (year they turn 7)cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788508986252339771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-69187481062263738632012-05-24T14:31:33.111+02:002012-05-24T14:31:33.111+02:00I hope it all goes to plan for your boys.

I saw that the enrolment date for next year was moved forward quite drastically...you'd think something like this would be better published?Louisahttp://louisa123.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-7404703116481177902012-05-24T11:28:55.343+02:002012-05-24T11:28:55.343+02:00Good luck.Good luck.Ordinarylifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06136274266634314394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-52271598357247032122012-05-24T07:35:58.117+02:002012-05-24T07:35:58.117+02:00Good luck!
