I guess if your other blog friends want to know they need to meet you in person for noodles. :-) And no, I would not have taken my child on the TV. But who knows what the circumstances were that led to the appearance. I guess I'd have to be in their shoes to really say for sure... I feel so special knowing your secret excitement.

Testing for gifted children and followed by evolving a learning plan is very expensive. By going public in this way, there may very well be centers who are willing to "share the limelight". Or perhaps I am a cynic. And no, I would not have gone public. There are scores of web sites, dedicated schools and organizations focused on gifted children. Making a media circus out of it can backfire as these children learn in different ways and some may not be able to handle the pressure of a life so public. Glad you got your template and posts back. And "exciting" does not cut it. Spill!! I think their motive may have been to get testing and advice for free or for a discounted cost.
