But Puffin, OP's DD isn't going to stay 3 forever. laugh

The "not schooling" enough comments came from a couple of my close friends who do have DD4's best interest at heart. Their children (2 of 4 are confirmed gifted) had much more traditional schooling and they think I'm being too hippie with DD's educational choices.

BTW, I forgot to mention that we are going to do bilingual homeschooling. I do feel going our own hybrid model is the least worst option for us at the moment. I wanted DD to not have to spend 7 hours a day, 5 days a week away from me. I guess you could say that our choice is really an extension of attachment parenting.
