This is a side issue- has anyone experienced this? Ds has a terrific memory. At +2yo, 3 mths after a holiday, he started reciting the safety message that was announced on the flight, stopping to ask what certain words meant. Yet he can forget what he had for breakfast or whether he's brushed his teeth a half hour earlier. Bizarre!
He's 7 now and talks about how certain things made him feel a few years earlier. I know what u guys mean by the reading - it stands out because it's visible, but maybe I'm too used to it by now. What he does extra well to me - I used to think it was the way math is absolutely intuitive to him. But last yr, after cruising easily on logic for algebra for awhile, he lost the thread. I was surprised- he spent the whole of December staring at the problems and then managing to work them through. So I'd say it's his doggedness at solving questions that are meaningful to him. He says he loves the challenge.
