The Best part of today was _________.

The best part of today was ____________.

It's still early, but  I have to say that the best part of today was that Bubba started his Gifted and Talented Class at his school!  I'm so proud of him!  When he first started classes at this new school (a few years ago), I pursued the Gifted and Talented (GT) program.  They said "he's not ready for this program at this time".  Last year, I did the same, and got the same response.  I decided that this year, I will let it go and not push it.  Before Thanksgiving, we got a letter saying he's a candidate.  I had to write a paper on him, fill out forms, he was interviewed, and they took his CogAT scores.  We got the letter Friday that he was accepted.  We returned the forms, signed, yesterday.  Today begins a new journey for him!

I cannot WAIT for him to get home from school to tell me all about it!!!

The only bad part, is that my daughter (Bug) is feeling a little bitter that her little brother is getting to be in this program and she's not.  I have to remember that she's MY daughter.  I wasn't ever in classes like these.  I had friends that were, but it was never ME.  My husband, however, was always in these higher level classes.  I guess Bubba got it from his daddy!
