At that age my son just loved learning, asked lots of questions, and he loved to talk about what he had learned. He didn't just want to read, he wanted to read and discuss. He saw humor in things that I never noticed and liked to share. He had a lot of confidence in his ability to speak and was not shy about doing it on stage in front of a lot of people. People thought he was older and they kept asking us where he went to school before he was old enough to go to school. Strangers would listen to him talk and then tell me he talked more like an adult. Some would tell me they thought he would be a politician when he grew up or a professor. It was fun having him around when he was a little kid and it still is now that he is 13 and taller than I am. Now his advanced vocabulary doesn't seem so unusual.
He recently had enough confidence in himself to audition for a feature film.
