My DD who turns 5 in September is starting K in August. She is not my gifted child - she's never been tested but we're pretty sure she is more than 'average' - she's definitely not as gifted as big brother.
I wouldn't be so sure - plenty of parents have been suprised by 2nd born girls, expecially if first born is a boy. Fewer 'party tricks' and 'unusual social quirks' doesn't mean less gifted. I don't know why this is, but around here we sing 'test one, test 'em all.'

I really hope DD4 gets tested and proves to be gifted as well. She's definitely special (and I mean that with much love). She's definitely no where near (or was) DS6 at certain stages in life (he was the one trying to "stand" as a newborn, whereas, she was floppy as anything. He read before age 3, she can read only a few sight words). But, she is surprising us now, at 4, not with reading and math, but with how much she just "gets" that a lot of 4 year olds don't at all.
