We still have out outside lights out. And on, because we haven't even bothered to unplug them. The Father Christmas head may just stay on the wall all year because I don't know yet where to store it. I think I'll call it a green man and declare it a spring decoration.

FYI, at least when I was at the local lab high school, they were trending downward in how many kids they let in that effectively skipped a grade. They still let in some, but it was a continual discussion of how many/if. At worst it's good practice for the application next year, but try to help him not be too distraught if he doesn't get in this year. It is a nasty competition.

Though he's close in age to the younger kids in the class!
