Things going on in the USA right now should be a reminder that just because there are gains, that doesn’t mean they can’t be reversed. Continued celebrations highlighting visibility are still needed, outside of just the fact that they’re also just allowed to celebrate their community.
As a parent in a similar situation, because if she said 4 and 3 it would sound like they were really close together. In reality they are almost 2 years apart (I assume).
Mine are ~22 months apart. So for about 2 months of the year, I say they are “X and about to turn X+2.” So people understand that they’re 2 years apart, 2 grades apart in school, etc.
Also, at young ages the difference between a 4.0 year old and a 4.9 year old is a big difference.
