    Mana, very happy for you and your delightful dd. I get the feeling from your other posts that you have some concerns about school. Hopefully, your are pleasantly surprised and your dd continues to be happy and still learn at her rate. All the best!

    Glad you got the results. It doesn't mean you aren't crazy and/or narcissistic though smile

    It feels good to get validation that you actually do know your child the best. It sound like you are on the right track for your dd!

    Yes, it really is. I feel like a cloud that was stuck in my brain has finally lifted off.

    The results won't change how I feel about DD or our relationship. I certainly won't be expecting more out of her but I do feel more at peace and it is satisfying to know that I was not way off target about my own child. smile

    Thanks Lovemydd.

    I got the impression from another thread that your DD is thriving this year. It's so wonderful to hear that schools can work out well. smile

    She'd be going to a play-based K program so she'd be completely free to explore and investigate on her own. She still has most fun when she is playing and I do believe that's how children learn the most, gifted or otherwise. I think it's a good match as far as philosophy and curriculum go but yes, we have many serious reservations about this school. We're trying to stay low-key so we won't irritate anyone. blush

    LOL. You got me there. grin

    I admit to being an anxious helicoptering mother at times but I am just anxious about life in general.

    deacongirl, I think your wait is almost over too. Our wait was 4 months long and it was really hard to know that they had her scores but we couldn't access them so I know exactly how you feel right now as you wait.

    I'm sending positive thoughts your way. I hope you get the answers to some of your questions regarding your DD very soon.
