I'm still struggling with this as it seems so unbelievable what 3, 4 or 5 year old should be able to do, really? I'm sure a lot these are made so that the parents can feel good about the kids.

What can an advanced, not gifted toddler that have involved parents do? Surely normal child can learn colors, body parts, alphabets and shapes early if you tell them these. All the 2 year olds that have have met here (not that many) know colors and body parts and have probably known those for a while. I thought it is normal for a child to learn these things while you are learning to talk. I'm just talking about normal interaction with your baby like: "do you want to wear red or blue shirt", "will you eat pink or yellow yogurt" "let's see what you have on your nose" "let's wash your hands" etc.

If I compare my 24mo old daughter to these milestones : http://giftedkids.about.com/od/gifted101/p/milestones.htm

3 year old: only thing missing is that she does not know her last name, I have never told her that LOL
4 year old: she does not know our hometown and she does not speak that well (although does speak 2 very different languages in 3-5 word sentences)
5 year olds: she can do more than half of them again the verbal side missing the most

I really do not think she is genius level, just a normal bright, advanced little girl. She is not doing anything truly phenomenal for her age like reading fluently. When I started reading about gifted toddler I thought that being great in puzzles means something 30+ pieces for 24mo old. Now I'm confused if 9-12 pieces is advanced as they are still very simple puzzles and don't seem that demanding for a two year old. Maybe all these ppl that have not so advanced kids never gave them a jigsaw puzzles at 2 so they had to wait till later to learn to do them!
