It's nice to know I'm not the only one who had to deal with this. smile

We've tried audio books and actually have one for the Cat in the Hat Comes Back. DD likes to listen to it but more just like she would listen to music rather than replacing reading, which is fine.

I've actually thought about the leapster Tag before but maybe I'll look into getting one more seriously now (could be a good 2nd birthday present!). Those living books also look very cool and I know she would love them. I just wish they weren't on the computer itself because we already have enough problems with her thinking that my computer belongs to her (thanks to Starfall and youtube). laugh

Oh, and I've been drinking a ton of water lately! wink My dad used to read to me a ton. We would switch of reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and The Lord of the Rings together when I was young. It brings back a lot of good memories. I should ask him how he kept his voice. My mom claims he taught me how to read sometime before K (he doesn't remember it so who knows?) but maybe this was the reason why!
