Yes, we'll go ahead with the testing. I feel a little nervous as the parent meeting is today! I hope we're doing the right thing. Not just the money (which will mean more debt for us), but maybe I should've chosen someone who is on our insurance? But when I spoke with Dr. Newman, she just seemed to really understand. That in itself is so valuable!
I'm thinking about getting DS involved in piano and singing. He certainly didn't get that from me, but he seems to have an aptitude for music.
We live in Lilburn. The schools here are pretty good, but as you said, he's happy where he's at. I don't really know how we'll manage everything, but hopefully, he'll go to public 1st. He has a late birthday. While this doesn't help him as far as his academic readiness, it does help him with his physical readiness.
I know about the "more" stuff. We've been to Fernbank so many times we've lost count in the last couple of years. My son has always needed constant interaction and attention (even as a baby). When my son was a baby, I remember telling a co-worker who had also recently had a baby that it was so much easier (less tiring) at work than at home. She looked at me funny and said,"really?" At the time, and for a long time afterwards, I thought I must be doing something wrong!
