I can relate to having a daughter like Brynne. My just turned 4 year old tests out of Kindergarten already. It's really awkward when people ask us (in front of her) about if she goes to school and where and what grade. Like Brynne, our daughter has a drive to learn and I have never pushed her to read, do math etc. She just seemed to want to do it and would ask me questions about letters and numbers etc. She retains information faster than normal too. I agree with you about "not bragging...it has it's challenges." It does. And it's just a fact about her that she's 4 and in first grade academically. Everything else about her is typical 4 though! And that's exactly where the challenge lies:)<br /><br />Julie<br />http://theadventuresofbear.blogspot.comThe girl who painted treeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09159718600311729528noreply@blogger.com
