The Summer Institute is put on each year by the New Mexico Association of the Gifted. It's 3 days of presentations on all sorts of gifted related subjects. My head hurts from sheer information overload!

Re: How has everyone's summer been and question by Adrienne @ Today at 06:43 AM

Sorry I havn't written back in so long. I think the hand flapping thing is dying down a bit. And now thinking back on it, she was very excited while doing it, I was just attributing it to being bored. I read up on over-exitability with gifted kids

My DD6 definitely made some major leaps in her physical development this year. After refusing to get on a bike since birth, she is now riding (with training wheels, but she's on it!!!). Two days ago she figured out how to swing without being pushed.

Congrats! I bet having them both accepted will help a lot! I don't know whether we'll try for DD4 or not (she'll be 5 shortly)

Re: DYS July by Kriston @ Yesterday at 09:36 PM

Yay! Good news! Our DS6 was accepted, too. It should make many things--including travel to Summits--much easier.
