http://members.xoom.com/learningcard Electronic flashcards! A site by Jenn Glenn.   Can you say AWESOME?  You and your child could spend countless hours here and gather so much information!  I have printed several power point presentations and have shown them to Brendan on the computer.  This site is great, and free!  She does such a great job on it, and we are forever grateful!  Thank you Jenn!
www.angelfire.com/de/babycards This is Jenn's older site.  It is being combined into the new site (above) but still has lots of great archives!
