Test Results

So as many of you already know, we had Gamble tested recently. I haven't had much of a chance to blog these days, but I wanted to get it out to the rest of the world that this little boy is bright like we thought.

The punch line: he's mentally just shy of seven years old, though physically just shy of five. We're already thinking of getting him placed in first grade, if we can ever settle on a school district (read: "sell this house").

In the debrief with the doctor, she offered the following:

When Gamble was asked why he was being tested, he stated that he was not sure, but had fun. He enjoyed the snacks and doing puzzles, but disliked being timed.

When asked what makes him happy, Gamble reported cookies.

He gets sad when people yell at him and angry when his parents tell him what to do.

Gamble denied any fears, stating, "I'm not even afraid of ghosts."

If given three wishes, he would ask for 4,400 ice cream cones, the biggest chair in the world, and 1,000 stars to play with.

Now if that's not a kid's innocent wish, I don't know what is.
