Oh Well.


if your child was walking, reading and doing basic math computations at 7 months, why not? lol

I may have jumped the gun, a bit, but she's been 50% advanced in everything but speech pretty much since birth. I had all those baby books and nothing seemed "right". So I started doing research. I make no claim to having a pg child, though!

I actually see a lot of moms with kids under 4 on here. I've read that most parents do accurately identify their kids as gifted, but I wonder if some of the Davidson's families ever read our posts and kind of roll their eyes? wink There are so many people likely lurking vs posting actively on here.


I have very LATE bloomers! With DS4, other than him being extremely interested in computers (hardware) since the time he could crawl, we just knew he's bright but didn't think anything of it. Now with DS2.7 ... we were actually thinking he was severely delayed (cognitively and in communication) until I realized when he was about 23 months that he was counting his finger food, recognizing numbers, knowing all phonetic sounds ... but absolutely lacking any interest in doing what he "should had been doing" at that age ... like stacking 3 blocks on top of each other! lol ... now, he still doesn't talk other than some words and couple phrases ... but he gives me this look that says it all "MOM! you just DON'T GET IT!" ... as he's reading an ebook on his brother's Leappad while solving a logic puzzle on his Leapster at the same time. I appologize to him every day in my mind for thinking that his mind wasn't quite there just a few months ago! lol
