Your mom sounds like my wife. She has started to be miserable all the time too, and for no apparent reason.

Maybe he's just socially a little awkward and doesn't know, so if you're able to give the benefit of the doubt have your date in public.

What age range would an ABCs book cater to 2-6 or 3-6?

You mean reading books?

You know a for apple, b for ball kinda books

A well written and beautifully illustrated one will appeal to a much wider age range, but these books are generally targeted toward older toddlers and younger preschoolers. My three year old loves every alphabet book he sees, but he has for a long time.
