Yes that's my DD, worse from a conventional-society perspective that she's a girl, many times people said "she's just like a little boy" (so narrow-minded...not enough sugar and spice for you, huh??!) I was told "you haven't raised her to be fit to attend school". But in reality I am much more diligent, consisent, strict and plugged in than many parents - they are just lucky at this point at least that they have "wash and wear" or "dump and run" kids that require little maintenance.

It's so amazing what a dream child she can be when she is intellectually engaged. And in Kindergarten, having to painfully go over one letter per week when she'd been reading for a couple of years did not intellectually engage her...hmmm
