Just blows my mind

The child for whom counting was intellectual and not intuitive, for whom the number line was a vague concept that had to be reasoned through, not just understood... that child is taking calculus II.

And with just class instruction, no help from dh or me, figured out how to actually calculate volumes by slicing.

Yeah, for those for whom math is intuitive, maybe that doesn't sound like much... but it's a three-step process, involves integration, and is math beyond what many people (I suspect) will ever do and also beyond what most people will ever need.

I'm so proud of her.

And she's thrilled and excited. I love that kid.
