Takeaway so far: Fine, fine, I'll order that Leapfrog Magnet Set

(A is for argh!) In other news, on the advice of Jen B., I have three baskets of books set up in Jackson's room (as well as the main baby bookshelves in the living room). The baskets of Little Golden Books and Leslie Patricelli
books are still getting quite a bit of circulation, but I've noticed that Jackson has all but abandoned the Karen Katz lift-the-flap books
, Where's Spot? by Eric Hill
and the touch-and-feel book the state of California gives you when your kid is born. So today I swapped those out for his first set of full-size "Seuss." He has quite a few pocket-size Seusses on his board book shelf, but this is the real stuff!
