Delbows,
I apologize if anything I said insinuated I thought you were bragging. I most definitely did not take it that way. My frustration has been that since we have become recently involved with the local "Gifted" community the parents seem to be so focused on when their children started reading that we began to feel that maybe the IQ test were wrong concerning our child. Maybe he wasn't gifted since he wasn't reading at these advanced levels. Granted he could do multiplication and division early, he wasn't reading. We just never heard mention from these other parents about their children's math ability. And I mean none of them mentioned math. Even in lectures we went to, all reading emphasis. It's comforting to hear that it's not all about reading. It would be nice if some of these lecturers would at least mention math abilities though.
Trintiy, he loves books about weather, anatomy, science, etc but I read them of course and then he wants to discuss it. Discuss it so much that trying to finish a page takes along time with all the questions one must answer (or try to answer, thank goodness for the Internet) Recently he has become fascinated with the speed of light (Don't ask, I don't know where he got that). The other day he gave me a pretty in depth description of Black Holes that I assume he picked picked up from the Discovery Channel or even a cartoon. I have no idea. So you are probably right, he might just find the readers boring. It's getting to the point where my answer to many questions regarding my son is "I have no idea".
Thanks to everyone. BTW, who is Dottie?
