Eric, Firstly, congratulations! Eli might be too young for it right now, but a couple years ago I bought Isabelle a "Snap Circuits" kit: http://www.amazon.com/Elenco-Snap-Circuits-SC-300-Physics/dp/B00CIXVIRQ It's been a hit in our house. I'm thinking of buying a copy of "Code Monkey Island": http://codemonkeyplanet.com/ Though I'd like to see the reviews first. Later, Tim.

This is the alcohol on the beach clause.. Become a pain in the ass and they'll point to clause L on their website and kill your access. It's interesting there's no SSH on that list..
