Thanks
I think we will jsut keep working with this. After the first of the year she is going to have some more oportunities to be around other kids. Her best friend is gifted (starting to do K things), but no where near the same level which frusterate DD (who is doing 2nd/3rd grade things), but is also good because she is learning to not be so short with others when they don't know something, and the gap is not as large between the 2 of them as it is with other kids her age. They are doing several class together at our PCR (similar to a YMCA) this winter semester, so DD will be able to meet some new friends too. And I am going to this spring try to get her in girl scouts with some older children.
I am having a good day. I had lunch with a great friend (who is DD's best friend's mom) and we were able to have an adult lunch...no kids LOL. She is a middle school teacher and she really gets DD. And is very realistic about what challanges I would face if enrolling her here. She even told me she wouldn't recommend it, as DD would need to be skipped several grades, and advocating for a one year skip is difficult enough at the school. But, she did offer me several resources she has avialiable and access to some achievement testing! So yea! That should help me really get a good grasp on what Ansley needs from me, cause I always feel like I am playing catch up. What ever activity I get for her ends up being to easy, but I am always afraid of getting to hard. So this should really help me. I am lucky to have really found some good advocates and friends thsi quickly here.
