Both of my little ones stop in their tracks when animals are on tv.That kangaroo birth was pretty wierd. I tried to explain to my four year old son that all animals had babies and that we were animals too. We were all babies once. I don't think he got it though. He stressed to me that HE was a big boy, not a baby like his sister.

A young creationist in the making!

Just kidding, unlike the creationists, your son will grow out of a 4-year-old mindset.

Saw this on BBC 1 a few months ago (hey, for once we Brits get something before you). It was, as mentioned, very good indeed.

Did Blue Planet (the programme he did before) get shown in the US? Some fascinating stuff in that, especially the episode in which they filmed really deep sea creatures. Some were rather alien, to say the least.
