Thank you for your encouraging words. It's just what I needed. 2 things stuck out in your post, Grinity: 1. That my son would be bored in Kindergarten if he's reading Peter Rabbit. That scares me so much I want to throw-up. 2. To try to engage my mom by asking about her personal experience w/gifted people. I really like that idea. I do know that when my Dad went into the military in the early 60's they gave him an IQ test and told him he was gifted. They wanted him to go into Officer Training School because of it.
