Dr. Sowell's son John talked late. I think I have a copy of the book, but a lot of my books are in storage right now so I can't look at more than Amazon's sample pages.

It’s probably a made-up story, but suppossedly Einstein was a “late speaker”.
As the story goes, the parents asked him why he hadn’t spoken before.
And the young Einstein (here’s the punch line!) says “I didn’t have
anything to say.”

hmmm....that looks interesting. My first daughter talked early, my second didn’t talk until she was two. And then it was her own language. Only her two year old sister and I had a clue what she was saying, and her big sister could interpret better than me. My two year old son hit two and started talking in complete sentences. I don’t know what the difference among the three really are.

I’m homeschooling the oldest now, and she’s easy. I can tell her brother will be an easy student. The middle one, she can count to one hundred but doesn’t know all her letters yet. She’s the main reason why I am homeschooling. She learns differently, and I haven’t been able to figure it out yet, and I’ve worked with her for four and a half years, I can’t expect a teacher to figure her out along with thirty other children within the next nine months.
