i thought of you, i'm reading a great book about a kickass mom (bringing up 10 kids!) called The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio (soon to be a movie:http://www.gofishpictures.com/prizewinner/)
one of the neat things she did to teach her kids language and word skills was leave a notebook on a table, and she would start a poem by leaving a first line... then the kids were encouraged to trade lines of rhyme with her... so like one was:
mom: March is a month when kites fly high betsy: They run from the wind across the sky mom: I think that when a kite looks down betsy: It sees the sights all over town!

If I ever have children one day, I hope I can be the kind of mother that you are.
