Star wars
Maybe I should pull out Hitchhikers' guide
For chapter books, DS mostly is only a little interested, he likes it when we read them to him at bedtime, but he's not really into it in the same way... I think he has the sence that it's all one story, and he really gets into the characters, I think he's comforted by them returning time after time, and he remembers chunks of storyline here and there. But mostly we just read what we like that's going to be long and consistent/comforting enough to encourage sleep. Some math textbooks included
Hmm: new question: He's 2 & 1/52, I don't really know when kids get really able to follow long sequenced (ie: not totally episodic) stories -- any comments on that? Norms for Avg Kids is useful, or connections to related milestones maybe better, something like "about when they start having imaginary friends" (we still don't really know if DS is "gifted" just guessing based on him being wierd, having a lot of knowledge/understanding already, and having two giftie parents. I'm also kinda not sure when/why I get to start being convinced he's genuinely unusual. Sigh.)
