I had known he'd do well, but not THAT well. She basically said it was no surprise to her. The tone in her voice was that of "really?!"
I know, right? It's a bit frustrating to realize that being so close to him means I'm blinded by certain things that are obvious to everyone else.
I was acquainted with a former teacher who met my son when he was 2 and told me, completely unprompted, that she thought he was "a genius." At 2?! At that point, all he did was talk a big game. We chalked that up to my spouse and I talking to him like a normal person and not a baby. I guess that isn't the only factor.
