Somewhere along the line I thought I read/heard that gifted children had "other" experiences.
DD 23 mos. spent 15 minutes interacting with a tiny, invisible elephant the other night, until it flew away "up, up into the sky." She watched it mostly, and described it as having a beautiful tail (an elephant? really? lol) and said she "startled it" and seemed to feel bad about that. She also said it was drinking water through its nose. She then spent a half hour asking for it to come back.
She didn't have a fever.
I tell you, it was beyond weird.
DD does other things, too. "I see Grandma, she's right there!" What is Grandma doing? "She's in the house." I call Grandma and she has just walked in her door and was picking up the phone to call us. She is 3000 miles away.
Yesterday she said, "I'm riding on the bus with Daddy," while we were in the car. I called DH on the cell phone. His plane had landed across the country and he was in the hotel shuttle bus.
Soooo. Not a gifted topic? Sorry if too far OT.
