K.F.
My daughter has the exact same birthday and I went through the exact same feelings. I couldn't find a way around it, I ended up putting her in a good preschool, and now, in 3rd grade she is doing great. Really, like I said, I get it, but just decide to enjoy the extra year and know that the extra time will allow him to be a stronger student and a leader. And think about the fact that he will be a little older when he goes off to college and all those other milestones. As much as I struggled with it on the front end, I haven't regretted it at all since then.
