hApPy bIrThDaY kOlE!

It’s such a great day!  6 years ago this week, my little man came into our lives and blessed us with so much and soooo many laughs.  Our little handsome man is a pretty awesome little dude.  This last week he graduated/exited from his developmental delay program (speech, fine, gross motor skills, social skills) and when they tested his IQ, Surprise!  He scored in the upper extreme range, with a score of 144 out of 145.  He has brains 99.8% higher than kids his age.  Hello!  Not sure where that came from and now having trouble figuring out exactly where to start to challenge him, but so happy for him.  The principal sat there with her mouth open in awe and the other group of teachers and I couldn’t help but giggle as he read us a chapter book that he had started and finished during our meeting.  It’s one of those odd, awe-inspiring, shocking things to see a kindergarten child not stumble over words like lieutenant and counterfeiting.   Normally they don’t even test kids for gifted capabilities until they are in second grade.  Since he qualifies and they haven’t even had one in this school yet, they have to make him a program and tweak it for a kindergartener.  Whew…  Still shocked here.  Very excited to see what he does.

Today we spent two hours setting up the “Tower of Doom” (actual name) for our little man and the kids had a blast playing with it.  Have to get to bed, but couldn’t sleep without wishing my Kole-o-ly-oxen-free a Happy Birthday.  I love you. =)

He is such a goofball!
