since I think she is gone - I will answer for her

AAA was able to make the payment before it was too late and GF concierge was able to get her ADR's back - with a few minor time adjustments!

Yeah, I remember reading that. I was wondering if she had filed anything formal against AAA for dropping the ball.

Please feel free to use my design - do you want me to customize it - or do you want something different?

this could get addicting!!!

this is my 10th post on this thread

my first offer to customize and even then I knew an addiction was in my future!!!

 

[Tammi67]

And I think it was MidNite who posted something like "I will make customized designed to the first 4 people that PM me."

Or was that you, Kate?

Hey thanks guys for pointing out that I got tagged. I hadn't posted today so I didn't even notice. Thank you tag fairy, I'm not invisible!!

I have a delicate issue that I'm trying to deal with. I'm not sure why I'm having issues with this as nothing has really changed, only my perception. I had my teacher conferences for my older 2 sons yesterday. My 8 year old was first. It started out like all my other conferences as he has had this teacher for the last 2 years. She then starts to tell me that he has solved some difficult math problems in his advanced math group. I was proud of him but didn't think too much of it as he loves math and is always figuring something out. Then she went on to say that he has an extraordinary vocabulary and is always blowing her away. Ok I was getting even more proud, but that embarassing, I don't know how to act feeling was setting in. She then gets up and calls the guidance counseler to have her join us. This was very odd. She is also the coordinator for his advanced math group so I assumed it was to talk about that. Well, apparently, they now consider him gifted and used terms like brilliant to describe him. They actually spent more time talking about there concerns of how my 10 year old was adjusting to his little brother. He is solving 6th grade math puzzles in 2nd grade. To be honest we hadn't noticed what was going on. He never brags or rubs it in to our older son or his classmates. He is very social and he is a very good athelete. The guidance counselor said that he is very advanced accross the board. He has much better hand eye coordination than most boys his age (she was amazed at how he could jump rope with the girls as that is apparently something difficult for 2nd grade boys). I had to laugh as I knew that he was jump roping, but he is doing it cause he likes girls. . The teachers want us to make sure that the older son gets involved in something that he can excel at. The problem is that they do everything together and there is no competition between them. How do I tell one that they can't try something because the other needs and activity of his own. They wouldn't understand as we have always encouraged all of our boys to try everything and have never told one that they couldn't try. My older son is not atheletic and doesn't care about sports. He does well at school and his teachers said that he is doing his 4th grade work at the appropriate grade level. I'm proud of him as he really doesn't like school. Older son has joined band this year and really enjoys it. I told the teachers that maybe middle son wouldn't like band and we would have separate activities there. They informed me that he they wouldn't be surprised if he could already read music. I know that this is getting long and I'm not bragging or complaining here. If these were your children and they are as close as two boys could be, would you leave things alone and just see what happens or would you start to encourage individual interests at the risk of not allowing one to try something new. I am inclined to forget about what I was told yesterday and go on with life as it has always been. We've always known that He was athletic as he could do head stands at 2 and he was doing 100 piece puzzles by 4. To make things more challenging he would do them cardboard side up. This doesn't bother older brother so why should it bother me. I hope this makes sense as I feel like I am rambling. What would you do?

PS. We haven't mentioned any of this to either of the boys as I don't think they need to know.

This kinda of happend to me with my two boys in elementary school. Although I must say mine were not as smart as yours seems to be. They are 17 months apart and at that time did everything together. We did not make a big deal of this and just let them alone as it did not seem to bother either one of them. Now they have differnt interest and go their own ways for the most part (they are now 15 and 17). They are still close for brothers and rarely ever fight. The "smart" one does not excel as much in high school as he does not turn in work and things that cause his grade to not be as good as it should be. His teachers ask me why and I think it is because he does not want to appear so smart because it is not the "cool" thing to be. Anyway I would leave it be and see what happens. If you start noticing a problem then intervene. Sometimes I think these counselors are too "smart" for their own good.

By the way you should be very PROUD of both boys for being such nice kids and also for the younger one being soooo smart. Congrats.

I'll take a stab and say Denise. All that diet coke.

Speaking of, I was thinking earlier after I saw all the new tags, that the TF must have gotten all hyped up on Diet Coke last night and went on a tagging rampage.

 

[julia & nicks mom]

I think everyone who didn't get tagged shouldn't give up hope!!! At least now we know the TF knows where we are!!!!!
