New Puzzle Complexity, 20 Months

I recently put away all of these "baby" puzzles that didn't seem to interest Damien (20 months) much anymore. They have been sitting on the shelves untouched for a while now.

In exchange I laid out a few of these:

A bus puzzle, alphabet puzzle, and number puzzle.

He is really interested in puzzles again!

This is exactly what I was going to ask you. Not only did I want to know what toys your children play with, but also how you use them. We buy toys from Lakeshore Learning. Are you familiar with them? Thank you for giving such wonderful advice.

Your Answer Defines You
"What can we do with thirty seconds? What can we not do with thirty seconds!... [Suppose] your little child looks out the window and sees a collie. 'What's that?' he asks you. You have five options, which will each take about thirty seconds to make stick:

1. We can tell him, "Look, baby, Mommy has to get dinner."
2. We can tell him, "That's a bow-wow."
3. We can tell him, "That's a dog."
4. We can tell him, "That's a dog called a collie."

The fifth option is to tell him that it is a dog called a collie and then go on to tell him thirty second's worth of information about that animal...

How sad it is that we put information into a computer with great skill and great precision and put information into our children's brains in a hit-or-miss, slip-shod, and often untruthful way."
