Birthdays

Maggie is in second grade. She is 7 going on 8.

The last two weeks there have been several birthdays in her class. The kids have turned 9, 10, and yesterday one turned 11.

I was surprised but she reassured me, "Mom, don't worry. It's not like I'm falling behind."

I asked Titus but he had no clue how old anyone in his class is.

In response to some emails:
I'm not making commentary on Maggie's genius or another child's lack thereof. Maggie hasn't skipped any grades or anything. She's the average age of second graders in the States. I just think school grades is an interesting way of separating children considering the four year age span in this class.
