I finally figured it out when our older one was 3 and reading chapter book. I literally went looking for what was wrong with him and stumbled upon information about gifted kids. It explained so much and we haven't looked back since. We had him tested at 5 years 3 months after a rather unpleasant discussion with one of his teachers. That was a huge eye opener, he was more gt than we expected.

Our younger one did lots of things early, and lots of them earlier than his brother. He was early talker (in 2 languages), did puzzles well and we thought he could be gifted but then there were things he was falling short compare to his brother. When he started reading at the age of 2 we finally admitted that he was gifted too. He is 4 now and hasn't been tested yet. We will have him tested but we will wait till he is at least 5.
