I don't like the idea of drawing attention to something that is as natural and effortless for my DD as... well, her blue eyes.
When my DS7 was 2, he had heard so many times how beautiful his blue eyes were that he started responding, "I know." I thought that was a perfect response.
We haven't had too many of the oohs and aahs lately about DS's advanced abilities, since he kind of flies under the radar and is usually shy with new people. I'm not sure what he'd say if someone said to him, "Wow, you're really smart." I think he'd probably answer, "I know," but maybe we should have a discussion ahead of time about some more appropriate responses...
