Oh Cym,
this is a tough one, but perhaps one of those 'blessings of a skinned knee' moments?
What, indeed if the DS9 does do better? In some families that would happen. Would the true friends tease, or stand by DS11? What does it mean about the friends? Do they ever tease about other things?
I wouldn't run for the online class yet, although you could consider it aloud with DS11, so he can see the downsides to quiting before he's even tried.
Funny story - in 6th grade DB came home bragging that he was the second funniest boy in the grade.
"who is the funniest?"
It turned out that his twin brother held that honor.
Seems to me that boys are always talking (and thinking) about who is strongest, fastest, smartest...etc.
When DS11, finally started to talk I was so excited. (I had the uncanny feeling that he understand what we said at 6 weeks.) One of his first complicated sentences, to another 3 year old boy, was:
"My stick is bigger than yours."
So I try to put my 'boy glasses' on when listening to DS11, or should I say 'boy ears?'
Love and More Love,
Grinity
