as for the typing we started tonight, I already had a Mavis Beacon program that I had bought, he wasn't too interested in it a while ago but tonight I told him he had to practice 10 minutes a night and he was receptive to that

My DD8.5 really loved the Dance Mat typing lessons on the BBC kids website. If he gives you any resistance to the other program.. check it out!
Kathleen'smum and I used to commiserate when we both had sleepless babies on a different forum about 8 years ago
And now we have good reasons for why our babies were so intense!!
