Participant[quote=UCGal]AWESOME! Seriously![/quote]
I know! 🙂 But really, they are just sponges at this age, and it should be criminal for parents to not take advantage of it. At age 2 his attention span was far too short to get him to grasp the difference between left and right, but yesterday I spent a few minutes showing him, and he remembered it hours later. I don’t think he’s some kind of hypergenius, it just takes a little repetition, maybe more than some parents have the patience for.

Participant[quote=AN]…because my son is only 2 and he can count 1-10 in 5 different languages and know his ABC.[/quote]
My boy is 3, and he can fetch me a beer, tell me how many are left, then hand me the remote. All with great enthusiasm, fueled by Lucky Charms. Real-world application of important skills.
This is the point where fatherhood becomes worth it.

Participant[quote=EmilyHicks]The last 10 years I have been in a condo or an apartment and it was very cozy and warm. Now moving to my new house, I feel the whole house is just so cold.[/quote]
It’s obviously haunted 😉
[quote=waiting hawk]Guy next door in 2 story house is around 5-700 a month now thats a ton.[/quote]
That’s crazy. We live in Temecula, have ~18′ ceilings in the living room, 2,100sf, but are well-insulated / double-paned / tinted. $280 was our highest electric bill late last summer, and I think we averaged $50 in gas this winter.
[quote=ocrenter]especially in the summer. neighbors across the street have the afternoon sun right into the family room and most bedrooms. these rooms are southwest facing. they tend to complaint about the heat in the summer a whole lot more.
as for our prior rental, we were getting that southwestern sun into the family room in the afternoon. despite the rental being 50% smaller, the heating cost was twice our cost now (newer home better insulation helps too).[/quote]
One word: tinting.
