Kick her butt! Ender starts kindergarden next Thursday, and I have him doing multiplication---without memorizing the tables.
Yep, it's not uncommon for younger siblings to grab the academics earlier, exp if they realize that they won't get older then thier brother, but they can get smarter than they are.
Yeah, the school called and said we can sign Annika up now for school, she's young by 3 months, but she's at the level of 1st or 2nd grade in most of the areas. They realized yeah, we've got 7 other kids in school with them, 1 in college - duh, she's picked up on things. Heck, I don't even TRY to teach her anything, but when the munchkin wants someone to read to her, and the sibling picks up whatever book they are reading for school, well, she picks stuff up.
They put Charlotte back to 10th grade, which is where she should be, but was going to be in 11th because she was out of what was offered. She's ok with it, seems to fit in better with the 10th graders we've met, likes the classes, shouldn't have problems with them, it gets her more time to do things, so she likes it.
Other than that, 29th ain't here soon enough.
Pictures? You mean I still have to get a camera?
