Not horrible, of course. But, fwiw, most kids are off baby food way before that. Both of mine were strictly on table food by 10 months. [ Reply | More

First, St. Bernard's is a boys school. Second, St. Ann's is not 2nd tier. Fieldston (ECFS) is hardly 2nd tier either. And Riverdale probably isn't ether. 2nd tier coed schools to me would be Calhoun, LREI, Trevor Day, VCS, Town, Cathedral, Berkely-Carroll, and Brooklyn Friends. And yes 95 would be fine.
