All these dresses are so pretty, and Anna is such a professional:)<br />In the NSW system,children can start school if their fifth birthday occurs in that year before July 31. So some kids will be 5 already, some still 4. My son was born in April but I kept him back for various reasons so he was 5 years and 10 months when he started school. My daughter, with a March birthday, was 4 years and 11 months.<br />I think every state has it's own system though. I think some states start them on their fifth birthday, whenever that occurs.Paolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472129226320589172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-80088217380290739132014-02-04T07:00:22.677+11:002014-02-04T07:00:22.677+11:00What beautiful birthday dresses (and even her scho...What beautiful birthday dresses (and even her school uniform is cute)!

So our son was older then most kids when he graduated.... at 18, having turned 18 in Oct. and then graduated in June the following year. <br />She is growing like a weed... then again, so are all our grands too! The b-day dress is cute! Neat to see how she has changed!

In the US, you start half day kindergarten at the beginning of the school year as long as you turn five before the age cutoff. In CA, it's Sept 3 for a late August school term start. So, if you miss it by a day, you have to wait an entire year.badmomgoodmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569728075698885020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-2069536645784442572014-02-04T05:52:38.300+11:002014-02-04T05:52:38.300+11:00A darling dress for a darling girl!!
