Thanks again for all your heartfelt advise. I agree with many of you. We'll definitely not be registering him!

However, now that I'm homeschooling, I'm wondering if I should just move forward with registering him with the state as a kindergartener, and really do do kindergarten with him.
I am in Florida too. In FL Kindergarten is NOT required unless you are planning on putting your child into public school for 1st grade. Also, when you register with your county school board, you do not register for a "grade "level". I would HIGHLY recommend that you read up on FL state laws concerning homeschool. You can do that through HSLDA at http://www.hslda.org/laws/analysis/Florida.pdf .
Our homeschool laws are not burdensome but you do need to be aware of what they are and your rights as a homeschooler. I know that isn't what you asked for but something that you need to know.
I would do what others have suggested and just take it slow and move up the pass if you and your son want to.
