I'll be very curious to see how this turns out for you!
We may have a similar situation except with boys in our house. Older brother (DS8) tested HG, DS5 flying under the radar. I'd been thinking that he was just your average happy go lucky kindergardener, but am now starting to wonder if maybe my perspective on what kids achieve at what age is skewed. He wasn't as interested in reading before school started as his older brother was, but has much better social skills that DS8 did at that age. DS5 now seems to be picking things up suddenly... counting by 3's, 5's, 10's and then using his fingers while counting to tell me that 5x7=35. He's also finally started picking up books on his own and reading them to himself--nothing crazy, "Hop on Pop" and the like. I don't know if it's remarkable or not. Hard to tell what's normal anymore! (Although I did have a "mom friend" say that kids aren't really reading till the end of 1st grade. Not sure if it's true, but thought you might like to know)
I wonder how many younger ones don't demonstrate ability as much? How many are more sociable (possibly due to being dragged along to all of the older sibling's places/events since birth)?
Keep us posted, please!
