    I know that Starfall song! Good thing it's catchy, because we listened to it about 40 times at DS' behest when we first registered for Starfall, along with the song about speckled frogs on a log.

    DD also loved this book:

    http://www.amazon.com/Zero-Kathryn-...id=1377312109&sr=8-2&keywords=zero+book#

    She couldn't get enough of it when she was into it.

    DD2 is obsessed with fashion. Her eyes light up for everything "pretty."

    I, on the other hand, care less about clothes.

    LOL HelloBaby. My 19month old is the same. She's very particular about what she wears. It can take a good 20 minutes to get her dressed due to her rejecting the things I pick out. She also goes nuts in a shoe store.

    I'm like, "who are you? Did you really come from me?"

    My son will be 3 at the end of next month and deeply loves his Strider balance bike. We got it in the Spring and he would just walk around with the bike but little by little he got more confidence and better balance. Now he flies on it. We actually took him to a BMX track for the first time today. I was stunned that within a half hour of arrival, he was cruising over the big bumps on the adult track on his little balance bike.

    He certainly didn't get these skills from us. Recommend the bike highly... It has done wonders for his balance and coordination in general. Just don't be surprised if the first couple months involves your child slowly walking the bike everywhere.

    numbers! DS3.5 is (and has been) obsessed with numbers since well before he was talking, (granted, he didn't speak till 2) but so many games are just permutations of numbers...legos become buildings of numbers, he makes numbers out of playdoh (rainbow colored, of course)...and so on and so forth.

    he has also very recently become interested in chess - he has no real idea of strategy right now, but he is enjoying moving the pieces correctly and capturing daddy's pieces.
