Personally for a child his age and giftedness, you might want to look into unschooling, also called child-led learning, let him figure out what it is he wants to learn about and help him find out the best way to do that. They was a wonderful article in the lates issure of "the old schoolhouse" magazine. As far as socialization goes, check out some groups in your area, and go on some fieldtrips or try a sport but I wouldn't force him. If he can interact with adults, he's doing better than most children in public school, when his peers cathc up with him, he'll be fine.
Phi 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

I think it is a great idea to homeschool your son. As you say you are already doing it, and I agree with a type of unschooling, at least having him have a part in the planning. Planning is an important step and I think you will feel more confident when you have something down on paper.
