Oh yes, I've gotten that question too! I would say that your son's activities so far stack up VERY well against what even some much older children in public school's have done. You know what? My daughter is now 19 year-old college student and her teachers are, so far, constantly amazed at her knowledge and grace under fire. One of the best four decisions I ever made in my life was to agree with my husband to homeschool her.

I appreciate your reply. I'm through with my rant. While public schools may offer opportunities that my son might not be able to enjoy (although at age 7, he's not aware of any yet), the freedom we have in determining academic content and scheduling gives us opportunities that public school children don't have.
The sword cuts both ways.

Is your daughter an only child? Mine is and the questions/accusations are endless. We're beginning our 7th year homeschooling and don't regret it *at all*. :o)
