No Penni, you don't sound like a commercial at all. And I TOTALLY agree with you. The first night I came home from the hospital I bet I read 15 books to Ryan. He really loves it when I read to him and is very upset when we stop. No matter HOW many we have read! About 6 months back, just out of curiosity I decided to find out when he would not ask for another book. I got up to 31 piled beside his bed and the only thing that stopped us was he fell asleep! They seem so simplistic to me, but both the kids simply love being read to. He recently took an aptitude test at school and they say he's up to the first grade level already. He can actually read small words at 4 1/2! And he LOVES doing it. I sit and play the software programs with him often in the evening. I am absolutely astounded what he can do and learn. Their little minds are just craving for stimulation at this age. I think every kid should go to a preschool like the Montessori schools when they are 3. Do you think I'm nuts there Penni? It's not like school like we remember it. It's like organized stimulating games. They learn at their own pace while they are playing. It is a real marvel to watch 18 little kids quietly involved in exercises at this school. It's really stumps you into shock the first time you see it. Not too long ago in IBD there was a study done on kids who were read to vs kids who were not. The results in success and acedemic achievement were startling. I never could understand why it got such little play in the press, except for IBD. I bet you would be a wonderful teacher in one of those schools if you chose to Penni. Michael
