Extrapolating the exersaucer

We put Theresa in the exersaucer for the first time this week.  She really likes it, and I'm impressed.  Raffaele didn't really stay in there too long when we used it with him.  He'd bounce a little bit and check out the stuff, but then he was done with it.  He didn't like being stuck in there.  Theresa, on the other hand, seems to really be concentrating on all the little things that she can do on the exersaucer; she lasts in there for quite a little while, self-entertained, before she asks to come out.  I find myself extrapolating these events to sometime in the future to Theresa being a studious student and, perhaps, Raffaele learning differently.  He gets absorbed, sure, with stuff that interests him; the exersaucer did not interest him so much.  They are very different children, and I can see now that they will learn differently and have different strengths.

(Of course, I realize there's a lot of time ahead of us and children change, but I daydream of what's to come.)
