    Does he like to draw or paint? Get him some paints and create a mural with him.

    i can't remember the last time i seen him draw...

    i did buy the kids a set of bubble makers and bubble goo for valentines day.. he's been trying to make a square bubble ever since.

    his nickname is the absent-minded professor. did you see his bristol bot?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BZzKulCvQA"]YouTube- bristlebot

    and you can see from this video why i want him to be more active.. it looks like to me he's slimmed down a bit since this was taken.

    Hello,

    OK, then I stand for this position. And you choose the movie ;).

    Well, your son is a little bit old now. But you should try to develop him into an engineer. Engineers find always a good job and women love them, don't they? So I like the idea of the model plane or something like this. Or look for parts of a moving machine or a robot. Unfortunately this is all stuff you have to buy if you don't have an engineer or hacker at your fingertips.

    Edit: oh, I missed the video. That's what I had in mind.

    Regards
    Gyro

    yeah.. we think he'll end up either some sort of engineer or a kindergarten teacher.. lol

    he's very inventive and creative. he can go on and one and on for hours about gizmos.

    Hello,

    there is no difference between a bunch of engineers and a kindergarten. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about ;).

    Haha, that's just what Gyro and his colleague are doing in the office if they are not under heavy stress ;).

    Regards
    Gyro

    ahaha! i'm very impressed by him, how he can pick apart any device with his mind and figure stuff out.
    and yet he can never remember where he put his shoes.. :rolleyes:

    Hello,

    ;)

    At that age I took apart every TV and radio I could get under my fingers. Taking apart things wasn't a problem. Reassembling them was a problem ;).

    Hello,

    cool ;). Keep him interested in figuring things out, even if he decides to not to become an engineer one day. Nowadays everything is a black box and you are not supposed to know what's in the black box or how it works. People often laugh at you if you try to find out what's in the box just for the sake of knowing. That's sad. People who try to 'dive' into things make the world go around, not the ones who just consume black boxes.

    Regards
    Gyro
