Cricket -- I for sure had friends and family who didn't really believe it but I didn't have anyone who didn't really notice it. My friends would see her sit down to read at a party or a playdate and say "she's memorized, that, right!?" Or whatever...but her gifts were sort of "obvious" that way while I would assume some kids gifts are much more abstract and not as concrete as precarious reading or writing or talking, etc. Ya know?
