Thanks.
Everyone, thanks so much for your advice. We didn't really do pre-school -- she was in daycare part time and she missed the academic portion of it b/c I got her there late b/c my mornings were usually free work-wise to be with her. (Selfish?) I didn't think I needed to prep her for Kindergarten. Everyone is talking about how difficult 1st grade is. I don't remember it being that way when I was little and my Mom doesn't either. I felt pretty shaky today (thinking I did wrong by her somehow) but I just had a great night with her and she was fun and laughing and I've decided I'd be perfectly fine with a dumb but happy kid who loves me. I still can't believe I had to hear the "stay back" words already. She's only been in school for 3 months! Thanks again (And parentparanyc - yes, Vietbabe is adopted. From Viet Nam. I do know many adult Korean-born adoptees, though!)
