That is the tough part about the kids not having the same schedules. M would ask all the time last year what K and I did while she was at school. I just told her that she "got" to go to school, since K was jealous about that too.

 

at what age do they start pre-school? and kindergarden? what is the difference?


In belgium kids can start kindergarden at age 2,5 if they are potty-trained...all kids that I know started at 2,5 (first year maybe parttime) since I don't know any stay-at-home moms either.

 

Yes, but I can say now that Jack is in grade 2 and I constantly remind him that we did all the same fun things before he was in school, he doesn't complain... but he always asks!

 

It's helpful when the activities provide fun for the other kid. Also, once OS starts going on school field trips, he may be able to see that it's only fair that YS gets to do little kid field trips...

 

It may be that OS is having enough fun that raspberry picking just doesn't cut it. ;-)

 

Awww, that's such a cute picture. THese days, my younger son REALLY misses his older brother when he is at school all day.

 

Very adorable.

 

That is so cute.

I'm a younger sister and I remember being so jealous that my sister got to go to school and I had to stay home. Probably because we weren't doing fun things like picking raspberries.

The grass is always greener.
