What we’re reading today:

1. Should kids (and we ourselves) be writing lists of things they(we) want?

2. Seeing the world from the toddler’s point of view.

3. One mom is jealous of her beautiful baby daughter and how people keep telling her how lovely her baby is without mentioning the mom’s own good looks.

4. Apparently some good can come out of watching Grey’s Anatomy: a 10-year-old avid viewer of the hospital drama was able to give her mom CPR based on what she’d learned from Meridith and co.

5. Kids reacting to stuff! These little boys are pleased that their hero Spider-Man is getting a little loving.

1. Who loves apples? Is there anyone who doesn’t? A history of apples is pretty cool.

2. Teenage boys (and girls) can be so gross!

3. There are some that think Halloween should be moved, from its fixed date of Oct. 31 to the last Saturday in October. Thoughts?

4. Did you hear about Turkey’s 2-week-old miracle baby? The baby girl was pulled out of the rubble from Sunday’s deadly earthquake.

5. How can you not love a swing dancing Spider-Man?
