Yes, this has been the most stressful thing I've been through...and I was a trial attorney! Last night she only cried a couple of minutes so I'm hoping she'll continue that trend.

I'll be hoping for you too Another good thing about gifted children is that they grow and change so quickly that the problems of today will change very quickly. Though sometimes it doesn't feel like it at the time!

Oh Mathboy, you brought back a funny memory from a few years back, though my girls were not as enthralled. Kohl's always seems to have sales, and nothing is ever the initial price. Poor DS had to go on a shopping adventure with two older sisters who were starting to enjoy clothes. He kept a runny tally of their purchases, with every new sale price. It was "handy", but it drove my girls nuts. I guess from the GT boy's perspective, it's one more way to annoy older sisters,  . LOL! Elder dd cannot stand shopping with ds too. He is too practical and he is knows the real value of stuff!

Dottie, S-T
I found that GT kids are so different in life compare with other normal kids, but they are so similar with other GT kids.
Everytime I read stories here, I would think, How amazing are them!!

mathboy,
This is sooo true.
I can't find anyone really to share these stories with and who can relate to them as well as other GT parents!
This thing about cheaper groceries, kids having sarcastic humour, making up experiments to test for God (yes, that's mine) etc can be interpreted so differently by well meaning but un-clued-in folks. I really don't mean to be snobbish about things. I just want understanding and someone to laugh with!
Love these stories too!

If I cannot find something, I ask Mr W (26 mos) where it is. Most of the time he has picked it up and played with it. Sometimes, not, but he knows where they are.
Like this weekend, I saw him with my phone. An hour later, I asked him where it was, and he showed me. Same with my keys, which he had been playing with.
Then DW was looking for her keys and he showed here where I had put them!!
A few weeks ago we were at the park. A family was looking for the dad's keys. We asked Mr W if he had seen some keys and he walked over to where they were.
Mr W can unload the dishwasher by himself. He can sweep, swiffer, and mop, too. He can load the clothes washer and move clothes to the dryer. Brings in the groceries and takes out ( drags out ) the trash. He can also cut up soft foods and will stir a pot.
Another fun thing is his singing. He can do on key or change to a gruff gutteral Johnny Cash rendition. Sometimes he will bang away on his kiddie piano and belt out a song.
Another fun thing is when he wants something and tries to use charm. He will look us in the eye, smile, ask for it, then smile bigger and wiggle his eye brows.
The darkest days were when he would not sleep through the night. We had to make several adjustments as well as just let him cry it out.

My daughter (12) has always been an interesting companion. She does not bore easily like most kids her age. When she was young, I could take her to art galleries, museums, or practically anything and she would point out cool things to me and would be totally into it.
She gets really interested in her studies and always looks up more on any subject. I enjoy discussing things with her since she always brings an interesting viewpoint. I am looking forward to this. Thanks for bringing it up. He already points out stuff we do not see and is starting to ask questions.

I love these stories!
Our ds8 leaves me little notes all the time. I commented on them once, and he said he was going to beat the Guinness world record for love notes to his mom. (melt)
