Grinity: Thanks for the great advice. We are actually considering private testing in the summer. The current program is 2 hours per week. At 4th grade, it bumps up to 4 hours. My older son is in the 6th grade and has been in the gifted program since 4th and loves it. It's the best part of his school experience and he is especially happy that he gets to test out of the simple boring stuff!
Thanks for everyone's encouragement. We will keep up our efforts so long as the little guy keeps complaining about how boring and easy (and stupid) school is!
