[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS knew all letters, phonic sounds, numbers, shapes by two.

At 22 months he saw a map of Wisconsin with the city “Appleton” printed, pointed to it and said “Apple”.  Another time when he was about 18 months I asked him how many cars were on his car carrier (there were three) and he looked and took one off and said “two!”.

Weird stuff like that and pretty constantly.  He also had amazing concentration as a toddler to the point that my just saying anything would startle him.

We had him tested for a private school and he tested “very gifted”.  [/quote]

+1. It’s the weird stuff!  Very, very early problem solving and long attention span.  When he was 20 months, he worked for twenty minutes stacking six cars he had and failing but kept rearranging them until he got them balanced one on top of the other.  I couldn’t do it!  It’s  hard to explain but we knew after two older and bright kids, that this youngest one was gifted/very high IQ.  And he is.  [/quote]
