I'm not trying to figure this stuff out so early so that I can push DD, it's just I want to be able to challenge her. When DD is challenged, her mind is occupied and she's a much happier child. Otherwise, she's usually bored and whines around the house all day. But if I can find material that's mentally appropriate for her, she can have fun learning while making my life easier (after all, who likes listening to a kid whine all day long?).
Like Kriston, I'm not super-interested in math. Or maybe I just forget to think about it; I'm not sure. DH is usually the one to bring it up to her. With DD, she thinks once we've taught her something that she's mastered every bit of it possible without realizing there's more out there. So we like to exposure her to different things with numbers, math and reading so that she can become engaged again in a new task. DH is much better at bringing up the math, being a very mathematical person himself.
We have a math workbook for older kids, but the last half of the book is too hard for her. Or rather she doesn't want to sit and learn about it from me (I can do it myself!).
sidenote: DD picked up two empty paper towel tubes, put one under her chin and said, "I'm playing the violin!" while proceeding to draw the other tube across the one under her chin. Is that normal? Oh heck, why do I even ask that question anymore???
