A and B sound like groups I would like.  I'd probably do the days that are B and D since it's 2 groups and you like staying all day....like me.  ;)  I used to do this all the time with a bunch of moms...who all started...

My son turned 3 in November.  My two older children were completely PL by around 2 1/2---well, for days in the case of my dd who is 5.   3 yr old DS FINALLY started to pee in the potty when I pretended to just not care...

OMG.  My kids are never sick.  Nobody around here gets sick.  Until about the last month.  It was about 5 weeks ago my baby Zayd (16.5 months) got RSV.  Then he *just* got over that and back to eating and all...
