since 5 year old daughter got into geocaching I struggle to get her to
walk to the car without the gps. Oh, and I got the shop to throw in
free a cheap digital camera [1] when I bought my 300D. She now has that
with similar effect.[1] digital for a child may seem excessive, but it saves a fortune on
printing costs. Interestingly she seems to have a very natural eye for
timing and composition, especially candid portraits and landscapes,
which makes me wonder if she has a gift for it or if at that age we all
have it and it is bred out of us by 'the day job'.
Keep a close eye on her - I saw this in another newsgroup:

Touching Story - must read through to end
...about the bond formed between a little girl and
some construction workers. This makes you want to
believe in the goodness of people and that there is
hope for the human race
A young family moved into a house next door to a
vacant lot. One day a construction crew turned up to
start building a house on the empty lot
The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took
an interest in all the activity going on next-door and
started talking with the workers. She hung around and
eventually the construction crew, all of them
gems-in-the-rough, more or less adopted her as a kind
of project mascot
They chatted with her, let her sit with them while
they had coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little
jobs to do here and there to make her feel important.
At the end of the first week they even presented her
with a pay envelope containing a dollar.
The little girl took this home to her mother who said
all the appropriate words of admiration and
suggested that they take the dollar pay she had
received to the bank the next day to start a
savings account.
When they got to the bank the teller was equally
impressed with the story and asked the little girl how
she had come by her very own pay check at such
a young age. The little girl proudly replied, "I
worked all last week with a crew building a
house."
"My goodness gracious," said the teller, "and
will you be working on the house again this week,
too?"
The little girl replied, "I will if those useless
[censored] at Home Depot ever bring us the [censored]
drywall insulation."
