Power lines

Most almost 5-yr-olds are interested in cars, trucks, or superheros. Haken isn't like most 5-yr-olds. Lately he has been interested in powerlines. I'm not sure where his fascination for all things electrical came from but he can not stop asking questions about them. As we are driving in the car he observes things that I didn't even notice. He tells me about all of the different types of power and phone lines and how they all look different.

One day he told me he wanted to make a book on power lines so that he could identify them for everyone. He wanted to go take pictures of power lines with my camera but I got him to settle on finding pictures on the internet and printing them out (thank you google images). He spent the whole morning cutting them out and gluing them on paper to make his book...

This is just the cover, but the rest of the pages are much the same.

If you didn't notice...everything was done "by Haken."

Here are a few pictures he drew of power lines at church:

"Power lines and phone lines plus the earth, moon, and sun" By Haken

"Powerlines leading to a power plant" By Haken

While he was at Barnes and Noble with Shad they asked for a book on power lines and the lady said they didn't have any so he had to settle for a book on anatomy and read that instead. This kid loves to learn about anything really.

 This past week he has been fascinated with planets (probably because of the solar eclipse and venus passing by the sun). We checked out some books from the library so I am sure we will be seeing some planet pictures emerging soon.
