Proud Momma

[crabcake]

DQ was accepted into the first phase of the academically gifted program at school. I always knew the potential was there, but last year was a stretch just getting her to concentrate and focus on her classwork. This year -- night and day difference! I'm so proud of her.

The next phase consists of taking two tests, then the top 10% of kids from there are entered. Her teacher and I have no doubts she'll make it, as she's scored extremely well on the tests thus far.

I'm taking her out to dinner tonight to celebrate, and to buy a special treat from the Discovery store.

Outstanding Crabby! Wonder where she gets her smarts from? Her Momma?

I bet she like Tony Stewart too.... All the smart kids do.

Congrats! I was in the academically gifted program too. We learned about Mt Vesuvius once, which led to a lifelong fear of volcanoes.

This doesn't surprise me at all! She has always been a little genius! BIG HUG DQ!

Thanks everyone! I'm very proud of her.

What are you going to do when she gets to be smarter than you? I was thinking about that when I blew the HS quiz the other day--I'm probably already stupider than my kids. Dumber than my eggs, I am.

No one takes after me.

Retire, let her pay my way, and be the biggest burden on her I can.

Congrats CC!! That is really awesome.

...and K won't be one of those nerdy types, either. She is Ellie Mae Clampett to a T.

If anyone pizzes her off, she'll "woop 'em good."

She's is such a tom-boy!
