I went to look at kinder-tweens, and first, I got excited -- "yeah, that's the kinda trouble I'm having" -- and then I thought, "oh, man, yeah, I said cusp period_s_ because there are gonna be more of these!" Why does our society do the age-group thing so much??? Grumble.
Anyway. I'm going to try and follow up on a bunch of this. Especially music classes. I hand't gone looking for that.
We had a cute experience tonight... DH has been reading Winnie the Pooh stories to me while I [desperately attempt to] nurse DS to sleep, and then "goodnight moon" to DS. DS has been clearly into goodnight moon for a long time, but durring Winnie the Pooh, he wanders up and down the hall, pops on and off, attempts to climb the bookcases, hang upside down from the mobile by his toenails, you know, that sort of thing. The calisthenics routine was the original reason I needed a story to keep me going -- he HATES falling asleep.
Anyway, today DH kept stopping durring the Winnie the Pooh story for various reasons, and DS glared at him, whined, and at one point picked up the book and chased him with it
So I guess it's *not* just wallpaper to keep mommy calm! He really is paying attention, on some level, to longish stuff, and it's not just my imagination that he finds the under-a-minute stuff too short.

(He also walked on purpose today. He's been accidentally walking for two months, but today he looked at his hand, looked at the bathtub, let go, and went
-- I'm having a good day)
