We are a number family as well. Dd4.5 gets a lot of incidental exposure and it is no surprise that she has a natural ability with numbers. Dh and I think in numbers and find it easier to express ideas using figures and data. Dd has started doing that too. Re: language arts it is a different story. Neither I nor dh are that great with languages (except technical writing). I used to read a lot but not so much anymore, dh does not read for pleasure at all. No wonder dd only started reading after she turned 4 and still does not really enjoy reading.
