I have yet to find a playmate for DS4 who is at his level of giftedness, but between preschool, kindergarten, neighbors and cousins, he has so many friends that I've stopped worrying about it. Two of his closest friends, a neighbor and a cousin, are each a year older than him, which helps bridge the gap, but as I write this, he's in his bedroom happily playing with a same-age, ND former preschool classmate. My son reads at the 5th or 6th grade level, and the kid he's playing with now doesn't even know how to write his own name, but they both love Star Wars and the latest Lego toys, which is all that seems to matter in the end. As much as I hate to admit it, marketing and popular culture can be a great levelers!
