What is your child's passion?

dd2 (7) is passionate about wildlife, particularly snakes. She is not very academic (unlike her older sister) but it's so lovely to hear her enthuse about her favourite subject, particularly as she is so knowledgeable!

Tell me some other passions ....

Anyone - Is there a Spider Girl outfit with false boobies? Or maybe a Barbie on? DD would loove that!!

Yes Southeast... Runescape has gone. He is now reading Japanese mythology stories on line.

hunkermunker · 02/09/2006 00:03

Oh, and diggers and dinosaurs. He watches Prehistoric Park and his latest thing is to say "Oh, no! Something missing!" like the voiceover does at the beginning of the prog

And buses and trains and all things transport, and tickets for said transport.

And maps. And letters and numbers and shapes. And playing with sand (although he learnt today that it's not edible...).

And Bear (obviously).
