Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion The ultimate brag thread

More funny than braggy:

DS2 woke up in the middle of my history class(long story about babysitters skipped), announced loudly that "there's a lot of planets outside," and went back to sleep.

The prof said "yes, indeed" and went back to teaching dead languages.

(Can we have a "funny stories I just can't tell everyone" thread, most of mine aren't really brags, just cute kid stories with one wierd element that makes them a bit less tellable.)

The top line he traced. �The second red line he copied while I coached him using HWT words.�



This he did on his own. �He just recently learned how to write # 5.



I'm not sure if I showed you the astronaut yet. �We're working our way through a how to draw book. �The print letters I can just just tell him and he'll write them, he already knows how.



So, not a huge brag I guess since he's following instructions, but I'm a very proud Mamma. �He was 3.5 last month.

I want to share another cute brag. � I noticed a while back that ds always creates a mixture between the words "empty" and "nothing" whenever he has a reason to use either of these words. �"nenmpty", "numpthing", "nempting", "netty", that's all I can think of. �He knows about the number zero. �It is obvious to dh and me that he is doing this intentionally. �For one thing he uses variations. �When he misunderstands a word he mispronounces it the same way each time.�

YEA!
Our sensitive & fearful DD (almost 9), finally decided that she no longer needs a night light.
That thing was so bright; I'm certain my electric bill go down.

I had my baby on the weekend!

A little boy, born at home as planned, He's 7.4 pounds, and gorgeous, if I say so myself! We are all doing really well.

So now I have three beautiful boys under 5

Congrads Geomamma!!!

That is an accomplishment! Congratulations!

With our first year of crazy skipping in (5 years)DS8 presented his report card to me. As a part time student he got a B in Language Arts, a B in geometry and a C in integrated science. All three of his teachers commented that the quality of his work was an A, organization....not so much, which pulled his grades down. I'm so proud!!! I can't believe this crazy idea actually worked! My son loves it and is already planning for next year!
YAY for our side!

Congratulations GeoMamma!

Congrats on the new baby!
