Congrats momx2!

At least our immediate family doesn't freak about how smart and talented the kids are. Education is highly valued in our families, so anything that supports education is *GOOD*.

We've found a really supportive school environment. Don't know what we'll do after grade 8 though...

But socially, man-oh-man. People acknowledge how bright DD is and what a good artist she is. So I smile politely and say "thanks." Then there's that awkward silence. I try to compliment them on their child. It always feels forced.
