ConnectingDots, I am definitely thankful that we have the ability to be flexible. Should we choose not to homeschool in the future we have a project-based school with multi-age classrooms in town, as well as a gifted school, both private (affordability is a different story, LOL). Crying is definitely a way she communicates with just us; she holds it together in public 99% of the time. This too easy/too hard/always "boring" thing though...oy! At least we're not alone smile
