Beautiful Boy.

It has been a blessing to watch him grow through your chronicles and photos.

How old is Jack now?

So the testing came back on Jack and he's going to be in the gifted class. They wait until late 2nd grade here to test for that, but it wasn't a real surprise for us. The woman in charge of the program is related to someone we know, though she didn't know about our connection. Anway, a couple of years ago this teacher, who has a masters specializing in exceptional children, said to this mutual friend that there were a number of extraordinary children in our school, but that there was one that went off the charts, nothing like it in her 17 years in...then she mentioned his name.

So they told us. I'm probably putting him into another school next year, so he can really develop second language skills we've been playing at, along with his artistic talents. It's in Mobile and costs a small fortune, but he'll love the freedom and things they have to offer. Keep him from getting bored and put him among more similarly situated kids, which will be good for him. He has a couple of friends who are already ensconced. We talked it over and he's excited by the idea. I'm less excited by the bus trip, but that's the life of a parent, isn't it...
