Surely, I`m not the only one who has trouble figuring out what their toddler is saying sometimes! What is the funniest misunderstanding you`ve had with your toddler`s speech?

So far, kiddo is happily identifying planets by picture. I figure, why not get him a telescope. What`s a good cheapo telescope that you`ve bought? And is it really true that `one has to spend >$300 to not buy junk` as some web forums claim?

Today, we all woke up really early (4 AM), and I looked outside the window, and there was Procyon hanging low in the sky. I pointed out to the kiddo, `Star!` And he goes, `Star in the sky!` He is able to identify Sun, Moon, Earth, Saturn (from a picture), and generic `Star.` How old was your child when he or she was able to identify a constellation?

So I was talking to another mother whose kids are grown up and have finished college. She said to me, `I`m sure your child will be wonderful. Aside from what the child is himself, he reveals to the mother hidden depths in herself, in the universe, that she never knew existed.` I`m finding that he is showing me things about myself -- things I both like, and things I don`t like. Are you finding out about yourself from your child, too?

So I was talking to another mother whose kids are grown up and have finished college. She said to me, `I`m sure your child will be wonderful. Aside from what the child is himself, he reveals to the mother hidden depths in herself, in the universe, that she never knew existed.` I`m finding that he is showing me things about myself -- things I both like, and things I don`t like. Are you finding out about yourself from your child, too?(Baby-poll poll by Aiona, 188 days ago)

So we`re looking into health insurance for the baby, and I was reading the U.S. House bill that passed Saturday (http://docs.house.gov/rules/health/ 111_ahcaa.pdf). In Section 2703, it requires that companies offer extension to children up to 27 years of age. Do you know someone still covered by their parents` insurance at 27 years or older?
