Knowing all the songs that my pal scout sings and the order as well
Scout needs to go away. He's creepy and when you enter your child's name, he says it in every sentence.
Best toy. My son has had these for awhile and we use them to teach him letters, animals and other items.

Best teether. Yes it's expensive but it's worth it. Instead of trying a bunch of others, just buy this one.

He loves this doll. You can customize it to say their name, what songs it plays and a few other things.

We used this for a nightlight. He has used it since birth (almost 2 now).

I found a video on YouTube of some guy who did a pseudo teardown on one of these. They aren't too complicated and not 100% sealed with epoxy. Should be easy to fix.
If it can't be fixed you could order another one from Amazon for $15 and just take the electronics out of your son's scout, setup the new scout like the old, and then transplant the new scout's electronics into the old scout, and non-the-wiser. IMO this may be the better way to start with, because then you get all new electronics, buttons and LED and it's still the "same" scout on the outside to your son. Only downside is a possible ethics debate about plush-toy organ-harvesting :P
I'm free most this weekend so PM if you're interested and can meet in PB.
For my daughter, one of the presents we got her for her first birthday is LeapFrog's "Violet", which is a stuffed animal (dog) that plays music and has interactive activities. It comes with a USB cord to hook up to your computer to program it with your child's name, pick your songs, favorite food and color and track how your child uses the toy. When you turn it on, it will say "Hi Sam!" or whatever the child's name is and use the name in songs and other speaking interactions. It's really very cool and my daughter, who just recently turned 2, still loves her. It's some of the best $20 we ever spent.
There's a boy version called "Scout". We got it as a gift for our friends' one year old boy and he loved his as well. And we got it for him specifically because we knew how much our daughter loved hers.
