How about...that's just when his birthday fell? Someone always has to be youngest, someone always has to be the oldest. I guess I am just not that in tune with any reason to hold a kid back other than it has been recommended by doctors and/or school personnel due to a deficit the child has shown in his development.

And yes, my son is one of the youngest. 23 days younger he would be in a different grade.
