thank you for the replies! it is really nice to be able to talk openly and not be mistaken for a bragging mom! You have all had some really good advice and I appreciate that you have all gone through this!
I suppose the main reason I asked if she appears to be gifted is because we taught her a lot of what she knows. My husband and I are both teachers and we tend to teach a lot while we play. So as for her reading, I am not sure if she just picked that up from us pointing while we were reading, or if it was us pointing out the same words and telling her what they mean and showing her what they look like. The letters and numbers she picked up on her own...I gues from some of her educational toys and things.
I guess one of my fears is expecting too much from her...and at the same time not expecting enough. I have to find a healthy medium that is just right for her.
Thanks again...I love reading all about you and your children! What a great forum!
