You make great points. In fact the one thing that keeps gnawing at us is that we started this whole process after observing that DS didn't really "connect" with the kids in his pre-school class. After we toured the gifted school, we both looked at each other and said...wow, DS would so TOTALLY be friends with those kids.

I think that counts for a whole lot right now.

I hate being a grown up sometimes. confused
