How ridiculous! I gotta wonder what they think you are doing? Oh, yeah, we get her up at 5:30 every morning before school, she eats the
Phelps Breakfast , and does 20 laps each morning before 7am. We don't even let her watch cartoons on Saturday morning!
LOL, I think it's really funny when people think we do things to make them the way they are. I laugh to myself quite often about this when people ask "how did you teach him __________" Half the time I don't know much about _________ so not sure how I would teach him that if I tried. Already he has just turned 5 and gives me pieces of information that I never knew on an almost daily basis. I only hope that I am providing him with as much as he is providing me with. So no, we don't have any routine that would make him the way he is or cause him to start reading on his own before 2. I know that it is hard to believe that a child can just do that...but clearly it happens.
About lying about his age I am not really tempted....but I have been tempted to tell people he is going into K when they say "oh, he just turned 5 so he is starting K this year...that's exciting!" Since he is skipping K I find it awkward and often wish that I could just say "yes" when they comment that he will be going into K. But I fear that DS will come over and correct them if they tell him about Kindergarten and then it will be quite awkward.
