My DS's Special interests

I love my DS's enthusiasm about his special interests.  We can tap into almost anything if we use his current interests.  Here is a list of some of his interests over the years (he is 6 now):

trains

aeroplanes

elephants

satellites

spaceships

aerials

timezones

world cup 2010

flags

flight stats

Out of them all, aeroplanes has been the main theme.  I know so much about them as a result

    Yes, really interesting how the info is filed away for the future.  Always fascinates me how one interest moulds into another.  We currently have another one that I didnt list before.  He started playing GT5 on his dads PS3 and now is into WRC Rallys and Formula 1.  He has had a toy garage and car/town mat since he was 2 and never really touched it and now he is playing with it all the time - I'm delighted!  His knowledge means that I learn a little about something too - I had no interest in Formula 1 until now :-)
