I agree that intelligence is based more on exposure than any sort of DVD or CD can provide. I'm not so sure about genetics, though...For Mini's sake, I'm hoping the gene pool accounts for much less than 50%! Adrienne,

I never really bought in to the Baby Einstein products for the simple reason that you have medical experts telling you how detrimental television can be to children (more likely to have ADD, less likely to engage in physical activity) so why start a bad habit early on. BTW, there's also a children's museum in Wilmington that's fun for younger tweens. I've taken the girls a few times and they've loved it.
