Hehe, denial. HG+, really? Goodness, what to do with THAT? Kinda feels like someone just turned on a very bright light in a very dark room and we have to come out from under our very dark covers, LOL!
I imagine I'll be asking lots of questions....or welcoming advice or pointings in the right direction....
Do you ever not really talk about your kids and what's going on with them? It's just a gut feeling, but alot of times we don't talk about any of this....family and *close* friends, sure. But when friends start talking about school and what's going on with their kids, we don't chime in because our experiences aren't really similar. Is that common?
Welcome to the board JDAx3. Your son sounds wonderful and I look forward to reading more about him as well as the process you will be going through. And I think it is safe to say a lot of us are going through or have been through GT denial. I have a DD 2 1/2 year old and still have my days of denial. You will find that there are a few of us on here with toddlers and we could not shake the differences we saw with our children, hence discovering this board.
And for your question about not really sharing about your child with others, we all do it. Some to the point of hiding their abilities. (Okay, I was talking about me on that last statement.) But I am getting better. Yesterday at DD dance class she found a dinosaur little figure in the play toys and came over with it. 'Look mommy an alligator.' She thought about it and then said, 'What is this?' Which I replied a dinosaur. 'Oh, a dinosaur.' and off she was playing talking about the dinosaur and what it was doing. One mom was shocked about her pronunciation. I could have just said thank you but instead I said she has been speaking that way forever. I don't know if she believed me, but it really doesn't matter. The point is I am not going to hide it anymore. I don't feel like I need to go into details b/c that seems pushy to me but I won't brush it under the rug. And I am at the start of being around other moms.
