My dad made me learn to tie my shoelaces with my broken wrist in a cast the week or so before I was allowed to go to Kindergarten. I was terrified if I didn't learn to do it I couldn't go. He wouldn't let me wear my buckle shoes, I just had to learn to tie my shoes. Period.
Kindergarten children learn their numbers and letters at school if they don't know them beforehand. Heck, these days many of them learn them in first grade. Give everyone a break and do your best not to sweat it. I think you will both be happier if this year starts as stress free as possible. You don't want to make school be about your worrying that he is not ready. (Even if it is only natural! :wink: )
