    How did I miss the water? Can we get it in the water tower? Three cheers for having fun at school Kathleen's mum.

    Here's my brag. My draw write now book came in the mail yesterday. How old's the boy, 3.5.

    He loves George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, although he would only recognize someone who's president if they had a podium with a presidential seal.

    Thank you. I only drew the pencil one. Lil' copycat drew the marker one. It feels good to brag.

    Went to see DS math teacher yesterday over frequency of missing homework assignments. DS is grade-skipped one grade and also in advanced math which means he is two years ahead age-wise(9 years old in sixth grade class). Teacher says that no other student comes close to DS in class and he is only one not stumped with word problems. And I thought his big strength was verbal!

    Ahhhhhh feels nice to brag a bit....

    My 12 year old son finished his writing composition assignment, to write three poems, early even though he had a really rough week and started wearing a very uncomfortable brace at night when he already had trouble sleeping. I didn't even have to encourage him to finish. He wrote two of the poems in the back seat of the car on his iPhone. Motor dysgraphia doesn't seem like that much of a problem for him any more since he can do his writing anywhere using his iPhone or netbook. He has maintained a high A in the class since it began last fall and he is one of the youngest students in the class.

    He also made it through a difficult three-hour musical theater rehearsal with a bad headache and back pain. He had missed the rehearsal the week before because of a migraine and he could not miss this one because they are performing at a local TV station in a few days.

    I am very proud of my son because he used to be sensitive to clothing tags, but is somehow managing to work through his pain and do what he needs to do to get the job done and do it well.

    Mr W did pretty much the same thing.

    Some teenage girl said he was cute.

    When he got home, he looked in the mirror, said "YEAHHH.. I am cute!"

    If I lose him in the mall, I just find the nearest group of teen girls - he is in the middle of them, making them laugh.

    He recently started a new sport and the coach is a teen girl and he tried his tricks on her. It took him four sessions to realize that she did not appreciate his goofing off!

    DD8 came running up to me when I got home from school today to tell me about what happened in Spanish class today. It is the end of the third term and her teacher was talking about grades and that she gives a prize at the end of the year to any student who doesn't have to take any retests all year. She then went on to praise DD for doing such a great job in class all year, that she has had "perfecto" on all tests and quizzes (none of which we knew were happening because she's never studied for any of them at home wink ) and it looks like she will be getting the special prize!
    Linguistics is one of DD's "things" so she was so proud of herself and so excited that her teacher would use her as an example for the whole class. She was grinning from ear to ear. smile

    YAY, best of luck to your ds smile

    This is from my 5 yo not gifted identified boy (hope that's ok).

    At the dinner table...
    ds: Mommy when I grow up I want to be a giant lollipop. I could lick myself, but only once a day. Because if I licked myself too much I'd accidentally eat myself and be in my own stomach. How's that possible??!

    me: reeeeallyy????

    I was just speechless but in side LOL'ing like a crazy person!!! Kids are nuts!
