If you had to guess, how old would you say this boy is?

This is strictly to satisfy my curiosity.

4 would be my first guess, but 3 or 5 would not be surprising to me.

I should have made this a poll.

He'll be 4 next month. He's a big kid (45 lbs, 44ish inches) and people are always sure he's at least 5. We even got a call from the school yesterday asking if he was ready for a kindergarten screening.

K Screening at 4? He cannot attend public school as a K until 5 though, right? So he would not be ready for elementary school for another year and half.. so why would they call and ask you such a thing?

Because they didn't realize he is only 3. Which was the point of this thread, that he looks and people assume he's older. My older son attends a very small school where everyone knows us and knows that ds2 is ds1's younger brother. They just obviously didn't realize how much younger he is.

No, he can't start kindergarten until he's 5, but he will go through the screening at 4 because of how his birthday falls.
