Now, this looks like a fun game. Now why don't they make any games like this any more? I mean, don't you miss the games that teach physics like this. How bad are flying choking hazzards anyway?

This looks like a pretty cool book. I am not sure how long it would last around the kids.
This blog post has some very good tips to make family life easier with kids. I really like these suggestions:
Yesterday, I decided to listed to last.fm, which I haven't done in a while. While listening, I heard The Kid's Song by Moxy Früvous. This is a pretty fun song, that I think that the kids would like, and I don't mind. I am going to check out the other songs on the album, to see if we want to get it.

I received this email from Toys R Us a few days ago. It looks like they want to sell toys that are safer for children. They are now going to have stricter standards for lead in toys. Also toys with PVC and toys that contain nickel-cadmium batterys are going to be restricted.
I think that this is a great step, but this seems to be more of a marketing message than real change. For example, they are making these requirments only for products that are made exclusively for Toys R Us. How much of a change will this actually be?
