Cora was definitely getting uncomfortable. She still fit, but crib mattresses are so hard- when we were on vacation in Chicago she kept calling the bed in her room "the soft bed" and I decided it was time to get her a real bed and mattress! I'd say the toddler bed is fine until about age 4 and then increasingly uncomfortable after that (and maybe longer if your little one is smaller/lighter than mine!).LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-68290664794231676772018-05-28T20:18:28.933-05:002018-05-28T20:18:28.933-05:00Was Cora getting uncomfortable with her toddler be...Was Cora getting uncomfortable with her toddler bed? I think I'd rather get a toddler bed instead of moving to bunk beds for my girls, but I'm uncertain how long it would actually last.

Here the birthday cutoff for school registration is Sept. 1st, so holding back summer babies is fairly common (fall babies are already the oldest in their class, so holding back a fall baby would be very unusual!). His due date was Aug. 15 and we moved here right before he was supposed to start Kinder and didn't know the schools or how he was going to do, etc. etc. [insert lots of angst and reasons] so we started him late. All his classmates turn 10 during 4th grade, he started 4th grade having just turned 10. I have mixed feelings about it now since he's obviously doing very well and I'm sure would have if he had started on time as the youngest in his class and would now be in 5th grade. But that said, being older certainly hasn't hurt him and I don't know if the confident student and leader he turned out to be was in part because he felt so "ready" in Kinder. But yes, he's a few months older than most of his friends and I'm selfishly glad he's sticking around elementary school for one more year!

Landon is almost 11 and is only in fourth grade? Did you guys decide to hold him back for a year or is that how your district does it? I haven't heard of holding back summer birthdays before, only fall, so I'm curious if it has worked well for him!
