you could easily wait until you have a 7 and 4 year old (approx) or you could go on and do SOTW next year. I know that doesn't really help...other than to say that either way you go, would be fine. If it were me, I would wait. I started my 4 year old in SOTW (along with a 7 and 8 year old at the time) and we did things like Aubrey did. A 4 year old would more likely "cooperate" with the process better than a 3 year old. So that leaves to open as to what to do next year...READ, READ, and READ...historical fiction and non fiction books...if you do that, you will be doing more than any school...at this age all they do is "social studies"...which include VERY LITTLE history (in my expereince anyway). Hope that does help some.
