That's good. DS4 has made progress in that when someone says he is good at something or he is smart, usually he will say thank you. For a while there he would say "yeah, I know" really enthusiastically. It's funny, he is not at all intending to brag...just things he is stating a fact. But we still work on social conventions thing in that area. It will be interesting to see how things differ when he starts school in the fall and is in first grade.
