paperduck First, I think its terrific that you're so involved with your children. I also sympathize that its hard to have two in diapers at the same time. You mention that your son is 22 months old- it could be that he's just not ready yet. I drove myself and my son...

paperduck I heartliy agree that everyone should learn at least one other language, but that should be a language of their choice, not one that is forced on them. America is a melting pot, and if we do not adopt some formal standard, we will soon not be able to function...

blueskies @blueskies (1186) • United States 12 Jan 07
