DH agrees that Nick is probably gifted and is definitely intense, exciting, etc. We are on the same page that we will do what we can to advocate and help him navigate the school system.
BUT I am the researcher of things. He is the quiet introverted thinker and deliberative reader, and I am the gogogo extrovert who needs MORE info STAT. So, I tend to read large volumes of info, and DH thoughtfully (slowly) reads and considers.
I think we both have an equal understanding of our son's needs, but DH is a real hands on, exceptionally plugged in parent. I know few other daddies in our community who spent so much 1:1 time with their newborns/toddlers/prek kids. We had opposite schedules for the first 2 years as Nick was NOT a good fit for daycare and just preferred his parents.
SO he had him solo for 5 hours every day from 3 mos on. He called me the first afternoon back to work panicking- HOW DO YOU DO THIS ALL DAY!? Poor man was in charge of the 'witching hours'...sorry, I digress.
