I was dealing with this same thrilling possibility with a 7 year-old grandson several years ago. Finally, decided to quickly dig out an "old" Canon S5 IS point-n-shoot instead of buying one that my heart was telling me to do. So, I took him to several places where birds and flowers abound. I kept downloading his pix quickly. With all the activities youngsters have these days, I wanted to keep his photography eye in the mix. About six months later, I made him a frame so we could walk around at a park so he could handle it, or I could, so he would develop the composition idea without even knowing what that meant.
When he turned 9, all I got was "Where are we going next?" with cameras in hand. Well, the whole photography idea just exploded. I said, "Let's go out on the sand bar at low tide near Lewes, DE, and photograph gulls. As you can see in the progression of pix, he hasn't put that "old" point-n-shoot down, but I am dying to get him the real deal on birthday #11.
Sorry, if this seems about us... it's just a look at what may very well warm your heart in short order. So glad you have this opportunity.

Isn't he cute! You must be very prod of him. He looks as if he is taking his photography very seriously.
