Well, part of it is that both of his parents are nerds, so he probably comes by it naturally. However, he really took to the competition which is something that I didn't like to do in school.

The funny thing is that when he was in grade school, he was kind of an indifferent student. He had trouble concentrating so didn't like to read. Six years ago, we took both boys off of gluten and they both became better students almost right away. The youngest is also now a voracious reader as well as a 4.0 student.

My oldest is also a 4.0 student in advanced classes but is also a bit of a video game slacker and refuses to do much outside of class. Hopefully he can get an after school job soon to start earning some college money but the job market around here sucks, even for the minimum wage jobs.
