Have I used the title "smarty pants" before?

  It's hard to write when I'm always holding a baby.
  I had my first parent-teacher conferences with Gameboy's teachers. They all said he was really smart and polite. I was glad they picked up on that, but I also felt like saying, "Well, duh!" Really, though, I was glad his intelligence was coming through. That's not the case with all smart kids in school, unfortunately.
  Gameboy hadn't told me they'd done some standardized testing. I asked about it, and he said, "Oh, yeah. That must have been when they put us in the little rooms."
  His reading score was 12th-grade level. His math score was 10th-grade level. Of course, that means he'd rank average in those classes, which isn't exactly aiming high. Still, the message was clear that he's advanced for 6th grade. His math teacher said she'd recommend him for honors math for 7th grade. She also said she had more challenging worksheets that he could do instead of the regular ones, since there isn't any gifted or advanced program available for 6th grade.
  Now I'm really kicking myself for not signing him up for 7th grade. He could have just as easily plopped down in that grade as 6th. He was born in the fall, so he's close to that age anyway. And he's tall, so he'd blend in.
  I'm not sure what to do. We'll see what happens for the rest of the year, I guess. Maybe I'll go talk to a counselor at school about what we could do. I'm in new waters. He says he'd prefer to go back to homeschooling. But I hate to think that's just because we're not exploring all our options. I do miss having him at home.
