G&T (Not the Drink.)

Today we received a letter from the school district informing us that Ruby has been identified as "gifted and talented" just like her big sister. This means that she will have the opportunity to attend the G&T magnet school with Cecilia provided she makes it through the lottery system (they do not have sibling preference). We very much hope they can be at the same school next year.

We knew when the test was administered back in December, and I have to admit it's caused me some anxiety in the time between then and now. Because we see so much of ourselves in the children - Cecilia being a clone of her father and Ruby like me in so many ways - I was worried about Ruby's test score and what it said about her mother. Of course Cecilia was going to be a smarty-marty because she's just like her dad. But what about Rubes...?

Nothing to worry about, it seems. Smart as a whip! Too bad she had to ruin our excitement over the letter by getting sick and barfing a few times before bed.
