I think my problem is the exact opposite. DD was my first and is my HG child. She did a lot of things early but the main one was speech. By 1 year old she was fluent. Now my ds is 4yrs younger. He is nowhere near where she was with speech. As a matter of fact, there are times I wonder if he is actually behind for his age. My problem is that my dd is my benchmark and Im afraid that I have these unreasonably high expectations for ds because of my experience with dd.
The other day ds starting exhibiting some traits that dd had as a toddler. He's starting to articulate things he remembers that are uncanny and so Im wondering if he has a bit of that memory that my dd has. He has also been the master of puzzles for about a year. I find that because his speech is still developing I dont see him as being advanced like my dd was, which I think is unfair to him! I don't give the little guy enough credit!
