He loves compasses (could read them at 3.5)and any other gauge (like compression gauges, etc.) He has been into temperature gauges for at least a year and loves to compare Celsius and Fahrenheit.

I'm quoting my original post here to tell a funny story about my still gauge-loving little guy.

Recently DS, now almost 7, had the opportunity to sit in the pilot's seat of a commercial airliner. Of course, he was told not to touch anything. He was absolutely awed by the experience and surprisingly, uncomfortable. He realized the seriousness of that seat and after looking his fill asked to leave! I thought for sure he'd be stuck like glue in there, but no. laugh
