I showed enormous mathematical interest and aptitude, as a hatchling. My mother still talks about my adventures learning fractions as a toddler, in the bathtub with measuring cups, or of my announcing at age 3 that "there are six threes in eighteen" and such.
Something that happened in elementary school killed my interest. Although I've always heard the same thing about music and math, and I wonder if my lifelong interest in playing music is the ghost of that childhood aptitude, still hanging around.
