Cnm, thank you for sharing your story. It definitely gives me some food for thought, especially regarding sibling differences and the way giftedness comes out differently for different children. While I think my son almost certainly falls somewhere along the gifted continuum (time will tell), I have also found myself wondering about my daughter (6). She reminds me of your son in some ways. I may end up making another post about her (probably in the 2E board, since that's what I'm wondering about).
