Oh, magnificent child!

Linnea is just blowing me away lately. She's so tall! She doesn't need a step of any kind to use the kitchen taps, or to get a cup or a plate, or turn lights on or off. Her grasp of economics is weak but she's brimful of ideas for how to do away with poverty, hunger and drought - mainly based on explaining to rich people that they should help poor people, but she is not-quite-six - and wants to be an astronaut and learn all about solar power (this is why her little calculator no longer works, which is a shame) and how to make gravity and I forget what else. Oh, we need to make an electromagnet soon, that's something Rob would enjoy doing, I bet.

She is a baby baby girl and also practically an adult, and it's amazing.

If only we could work out how to turn the depth of her emotions down a LITTLE, just on the ones she doesn't enjoy...

But her passion is her self.

Yep. I've got a just-turned-six-year-old, and she's just like that. Neat, innit?

I shyly recommend my father's book Make: Electronics as a really excellent primer for various experiments with electrical devices.
