little_o I was going to say pretty much what Heaven said. Just being with your baby is enough, baby will watch and learn from looking at 'life'. We also got your baby can read but honestly we found it really boring and way too slow for ds who is also very alert and keen to learn/explore everything and always has been. I too felt like I wasn't doing enough with him.... If I could go back I would not waste my energy trying to stimulate him and worrying about it. If there is every round 2 I'll be far more relaxed!
