Very interesting, thanks! I think with DS4 I actually did follow his lead although he needed and wanted more interaction from me in the form of quizzing etc.

I am probably a bit too stuck in that mode and like you said I need to just step back and follow even more. It is very obvious DS27mo wants to take charge and be in the lead. (He is like that in every aspect,really.

ABQMom, that is pretty much what I did. I asked follow up questions and I can tell how excited he gets! I think it has been in the past week or so I am finally picking up on the way he wants our interaction to be. I am excited about it and your ideas are greatly appreciated!
