thanks for the rover tip - we have a subscription to starfall - DS3 used it all the time (it's really too easy for the most part now, even though he still enjoys playing around on some of the songs, etc). we first got it when he was a little before 2 and it was a great buy. i wish i had known about rover back then!
i do wish starfall went beyond 1st grade stuff - i love the setup. either way, i will definitely show DS3months when he is old enough to be interested in it

random pseudo-related question...does anyone know of kids foreign language websites, akin to starfall? DS would LOVE a french site - he speaks some french, esp. numbers (his nana is fluent) and i think a starfall-esque french site (or any languages, really) would be a bit hit over here.
