Funny you should mention that Grinity because today DS7 had his first live lesson with his teacher and fellow classmates. I couldn't keep his hands off the keyboard he was so busy chatting with the other kids. When it was over he said he might like to do online school for maybe 4 more years. (He wants to go to school when he is old enough to date.) Funniest thing to me was the fact that he almost always leaves off vowels in his spelling so for chatting online he was in 7th heaven. LOL I think we are well on our way to keyboarding and skipping writing altogether.

As far as the excitedness, my DS starts covering his ears when there is more than one question. He needs peace and quiet to ponder. He is a deep thinker.
