ElizabethN-
My dad went to MIT

I had her tested for that very reason, because I knew that they were likely close in IQ anyway. And it really has nothing to do with her being a girl, if it were my DS that was the sleeper then it would be the same. I just can't think of examples to give them. Maybe if I sleep on it (get it ha ha) I will be able to remember some things. Her real talent is making dresses out of anything - she's super creative with that and she's only 8. So that tells me she has some understanding of materials and structure….
