Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!

Beat ya both!!!

..And the thread is successfully sidetracked!

Waaaaaaaay to go, ladies! It's good to have a skill, and this seems to be our particular one.

<blowing a kiss to the patient Ann, whose sense of humor will surely allow her to overlook our monkeyshines on her thread>

(tee-hee-hee!)

Now, now, this is an exhibition, not a competition. Competitive parenting is over on the "Isolation" thread...Waaaaaaaaay over on the "Isolation" thread!

It's probably a ball that needs to be dropped.

As we say around our house, "It was funny once; it wasn't funny five times."

And so, with full knowledge and forethought, I break the chain! Keep 'em wanting more!

Yup, funny 6 or 7 times at least. Thanks for playing Dottie and E&CMom! Good times!

And, yes, the self-contained nature of the school and the surprisingly high scores required bode well for the school and finding true peers. I'd definitely keep a close eye on that option, Ann!

He'll turn 3 on Nov. 5. For his third birthday DS has asked if he can drive a combine harvester. I sure hope he changes his mind b/c I don't think I can make that happen.

What about the saying "ignorance is bliss." I thought I'd send you a copy of his scores in a few years and have you patiently explain them to me.

I can't imagine what you must have thought/felt when you saw your DS's scores.

DS's pediatrician, current teacher, and two prior teachers have each told me that I should have DS tested. I've sat here staring at my monitor thinking really? - why? - are you sure? DS seems like a ND 2yo w/ a larger vocab...maybe MG...but I can't imagine more than that. The concept seems too far removed from reality.

Speaking of ND 2y/o behavior: Tonight, after DS rode his tricycle around the block, I told DS it was time to go home. He told me "I'll see you later Mom. I'm going to the park." Cut to rampant emotionalism when I said no.

By nature I'm a worrier and a planner. When I heard about this school my (true confessions style) initial thought was -- I wouldn't have to rely on DH to provide for DS's education. Anything *free* gives me more breathing room/options.

Feel free to always stray from one of my threads. I enjoy the silliness. It makes me laugh. What's not to like about that?

Ah, so much ignorance, so much bliss! LOL!

Planning ahead seems very prudent, especially with the extra load you're shouldering. And a truly good FREE school for HG+ kids is something I would give my right arm for!

Ignorance may be bliss--just ask me!--but I think you're a wise, wise woman to think ahead, Ann!
