Top Mark Paul....

Every toy is so much worthwhile especially the handmade ones and yours sir is a beauty.

Love to have seen the face of the security people as they "xrayed" you luggage....

Cheers Peter

... I am fully expecting her to be able to swear fluently in three languages by the age of three. ...

She will, and probably pick up a couple more later.

The Graduate School of Education at Harvard University has just started a major research project based on a simple observation:
"Big kids and adults can do everything better than little kids, ... with one notable exception - learning languages. Why."
An early hypothesis is that little kids hear, then say, then read, then write, in that order. Language education tends to reverse that order. Perhaps sub-optimally?
