Siobhain-

I agree with you on the importance of encouraging gifted kids to also have a physical outlet. It's great for relieving stress, bolsters the brain, helps facilitate peer relations with age-mates, and yes, it can be one area where they have some competition!

I got the Egypt reference... thanks! Sometimes I miss the obvious, so it's always good to ask!

Lesley-

It sounds like we have daughters about the same age. What is your little girl wishing for this year? Mine hasn't asked for much, though she has been admiring a hooded velvet dress up cloak from one of the toy catalogs. I'm sure she'd love a subscription to a magazine of her own too. I'm thinking of either Ladybug or Click. My older kids loved these when they were little.
