Turning My Daughter Into a Geek

I've been not-so-subtly influencing my six-month-old daughter in a geek-oriented direction. I already mentioned the Bigtrak Jr. I have waiting for her, but I've also sprung for some clothing items of choice:

Made With Love (and Science) Creeper

Superhero Snapsuits

(I only bought the Wonder Woman superhero onesie, but the others may be appropriate at some point.)

She's not quite ready for blocks, but soon I'll probably look at one of these two sets - Mad Scientist blocks or Periodic Table blocks. I'm not sure which.

Young Mad Scientist Alphabet Blocks

Periodic Table Building Blocks

Fun stuff.

I was also thinking last night that it's really too bad that they don't have Fisher Price video game controllers the way they have toy cell phones. My daughter always wants to grab the controller while we're playing and it'd be nice to just give her a controller of her own.

Fisher Price game controller... Got any broken ones laying around? Get one off Craiglist on the cheap and just leave the batteries out? :-)

Thought about that, but didn't know how well thumbsticks would hold up to chewing. If they break off and become a choking hazard, that's a problem.

I wonder how 2 years old children will understand periodical system? What he can build from them? Is it possible to describe electron orbit or covalency to him? But I like the first T-shirt :)
