JJsmom: It's always nice to know there are others like him. He had to write a small thing about goals in school. He listed: Reading goal: To read longer books (Note: He's reading the 5th Percy Jackson book right now.) Math: To learn devision [sic] tables.

I do worry a little b/c he's starting to separate himself. We hosted a neighborhood party this weekend with lots of kids. I thought he was playing with the other kids, including one who he's been good friends with his whole life. It was only at bedtime that I discovered he'd been up in his bedroom reading all night. It's not the first time he's avoided playing with other kids. A couple of months ago, he spent an hour at a friend's house avoiding the kids and reading on someone's kindle.

Maybe he's just going through a learning spurt...
