Thanks, Aculady - I feel better now. I worry a lot about his education, and sometimes my anxiety issues take over. My husband says that if I don't have anything to worry about, I'll make something up. Looks like in this case he was right.
I haven't been able to meet with the gifted teacher yet. She works for several different schools and is extraordinarily difficult to coordinate with. But we're planning another conference in a couple of weeks, and I think I may make an extra effort to have her there. I hate to pile more work on the poor woman - she's already so overworked it's ridiculous. But maybe we can work out something that I could help with so it's not a ton of extra work for her to do. He's developing an interest in Native American culture - he went to bed tonight with a book about them and has so far reappeared from his room twice with interesting facts that he HAD to tell me before he went to sleep. There are all kinds of projects that can come out of that - maybe this would be a good starting point.
