Ski Racing! Wow!
Good luck with the full-time gifted public school program, I hope it works out for your family, and I suspect that it will.
Great to hear that he has folks that he wants as close friends in his life.
As far as not missing opportunities, it sounds like you are right on track. If the full time program doesn't work out, post so we can brainstorm alternatives.
Keep in mind that when he is 12, it will be a good idea to take the ACT college admissions test, not for college purposes, but to be a part of your regional talent search, with some great sleepaway camp programs to enjoy.
Yippee!
