DS8 read early and would sometimes read outloud in public, but he also happens to be quite tall (95-98th percentile for height) so people usually assume he's older than he is. Right now he's the same height as his cousin who's a year and a half older, and about 4-5inches taller than another cousin who's 9 months older than him. People that get to know him do often remark on how smart/funny/quick he is, and I just take it as a compliment and say 'Thank you.'
