That's really cool that he can do that, whenever we've asked our twins what we should get as a birthday present for someone else, they either didn't know or suggested something that THEY would like, like a Thomas train or something. So we usually end up getting gift cards...<br /><br />For our boys the big obsession has been trains, although they've had other interests too. Now it's Pokemon for our twins (just turned 8) and still Thomas the Tank Engine for our 4-yr-old.<br /><br />I kwym about time going so fast, seems those birthdays come around before we know what happened!danettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15555927841950877805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880029458737154433.post-71180150377846863342009-07-15T10:45:43.794-04:002009-07-15T10:45:43.794-04:00All excellent points.

Even if he's only doing something domestic like showing off bugs in a museum to a bunch of fourth graders, it's still a pretty cool occupation.<br /><br />I had a period of about six months as a kid when I wanted to be an entomologist. Then I developed a fear of spiders that extrapolated itself to anything crawling on me. Not good traits for someone who wants to study bugs.Rosemary Tizledounhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13218384895580660676noreply@blogger.com
