Thanks for this board.
My son is 5 months old and can already stand and is very, very alert - far more so than any of his peers at day care or out on the street. He can recongnize me and DW and DDGP very far away. He recently got into a tug of war with a 1 year old child who tried to take his pacifier and won. ( He saw that the child was looking at his pacifier and grabbed hold of it as the kid began to reach for it. ) He says "Nuhuh" and shakes his head when he does not want a bottle. He has favorite programs on TV and will laugh at the appropriate times. Both my wife and I were (in retrospect) HG/EG, but came from families that were sexist or which looked down on intellectual ability.
I read the novel
Emergence which reminded me of my childhood in some respects. Has anyone else read this novel?
I want my son to grow up secure and happy with his abilities. I hope to learn from everyone here.
